Currently listening to Professor Germaine Greer waffling on about Shakespear's Dark Lady.
I'm waiting for Denzel Washington talking about The Equalizer II.
Denzel seemed in good form.
Tea was the usual M&S breaded haddock, which was very nice.
I wish I could stop overcooking it.
Followed by the usual custard with lashings of stewed blackberries.
Which was very nice.
Followed by a search for two HDs that I can't find and may or may not be in work/in a box somewhere/buried in the piles of crap in here somewhere/lost.
Followed by Wednesday's ep of "Carter" which was very mildly amusing and not as interesting as some of the earlier ones.
Took the top off the sky box to have a look inside.
Have identified a stick on heatsink from CPC that might make things better, assuming that overheating the processor is what's up with the damn thing.
Tonight's main feature was All Is Lost (2013) starring Robert Redford - and only Robert Redford. Seriously, it has a cast of one; and we don't even get to know his character's name, as he's listed only as "Our Man".
He's a yachtsman sailing solo in the Indian Ocean whose boat comes a bit of a cropper. There's no dialog, because there's nobody for him to talk to. There are, in fact, only a few brief words spoken here and there in the entire film, and they tend to be things like "Oh". It's just a matter of watching him trying to survive, and it's absolutely bloody excellent.
And to follow, an episode each of The West Wing and The Good Place.
Time for bed, as I'm heading south for a family barbecue tomorrow
My brother's giving me a lift down south for this barbecue. He usually cuts the timing fine and is even a bit late, so this time of course he's going to be very early, when I've had a lie-in because of his expected tardiness. So I've got about twenty minutes to drink my coffee and get ready
