Tonight's cinema experience took on a retro feel with You Only Live Twice (1967) - IMDb. Apparently critics at the time thought it went a bit over the top with the gadgets, which seems like a rather quaint attitude these days, when the major criticism levelled against the billionaires of the world is that not one of them has bothered to build a secret lair underneath a volcano
And after that, a couple more episodes of S1 of The Americans, which I do rather enjoy.
And before that, a bit more of Ambulance during dinner, because for some reason I don't mind watching sick people being scooped up while I'm eating
I've still got a bit of cotton wool taped to the inside of my elbow, because I once tried pulling off the tape the nurse uses to hold it there and it ripped the top layer of skin away with it. I suspect they must get the tape from B&Q, or maybe they picked up a job lot from the Bostik factory across town. Anyway, I'll ease it off in the shower in the morning
The only interesting thing this morning was the way the little black & white cat wandered up to me & complained bitterly about the injustices of life, the universe, and everything.
I agreed wholeheartedly.
It reminded me of the conversations I had with ZeitMog, who closely resembled said cat.
Morning. Annoyances thus far encountered;
1. After a night out in Harrogate I discover i've lost my train pass season ticket. We went to see Jimmy Carr, I reckon it's fallen out of my coat pocket there. I'll call them and find out. Conundrum then will be whether it's better to pay a tenner for a replacement, or pay a tenner for a ticket to go and get it. I expect a replacement would also require me to visit a photo booth.
2. The once daily direct train from Harrogate to London was cancelled meaning a) a horrifically overcrowded Northern Rail conveyance had to suffice and b) there being no first class also meant my plans to take advantage of the included breakfast were thwarted.

Cat was trying to work out if you were worthy of serving it.
