Watched ‘The Shining’ last night.

I believe in the maxim “Do one thing every day that scares you” which is why I continue to watch the news.

I was talking about Hitchcock with my much younger colleagues yesterday. One had to Google him. When I said he directed ‘Psycho’, another said, “Oh, I loved American Psycho!” 🤦‍♂️

This week I discovered that if you have a scene of internal monologue that isn’t working, you can chop it up and sprinkle it throughout the entire chapter and *then* it works.

Gave blood this morning. Asked them how much they were going to take and they said a pint. Took all of my restraint not to fire back with the iconic British response.

Decades after nuclear war, magic returns.

Whilst some use it for art or subterfuge, others will stop at nothing to have that power for themselves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The pacing was spot-on, and the last chapters—Wow!"

"a fun, action-packed adventure that mixes science and magic"

Ordered blank bluray disks (best not ask) off Amazon - Like New condition as they were cheaper. I received a spindle of assorted blank CDs & DVDs, that someone had returned, but kept the more expensive disks & replaced with cheaper ones. I will return them too, but can’t be mad. Top Amazon rip-off.

I’m sure my neighbours are already alarmed by the human effigy we burn every Nov 5th, so this will probably just confirm their suspicions about the odd Englishman in their street.

Today I folded and went against my vow not to respond to political comments on FB, but I couldn’t let a lie stand, and so posted a PolitiFact rebuttal. Not expecting any useful response, but I hope this isn’t a dark path I’ve started down… 😥
