One gig secured for 2026. Waiting on confirmation of a second. I have a hunch the director of ConsultancyCo is out of the office which is annoying as they've also not approved my November invoice for payment and that's due at the end of the month during the company's Christmas shut down.

Tonight’s viewing started with the second part of 24 Hours in Police Custody. A wretched business all round, and I hope he enjoys spending the rest of his life behind bars, secure in the knowledge that he didn’t even achieve what he set out to do. As for the daughter: well, the CPS made its determination on the evidence. She’ll have to live with whatever she may have done, but at least she won’t have benefited from it

On to tonight’s major motion picture premiere, because I figured it was about time I started taking advantage of having some time off: A Line of Fire (2025). One of those things where a retired special agent gets drawn back in, and why shouldn’t it be? Entertaining stuff, and proof that they still make films that don’t involve superheroes, because he gets punched in the face quite a lot

And then I faced a serious decision. Given that I’ve rewatched the first two Terminator films, should I carry on with the third one, or the third one? I decided to go with the third one: Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) because it’s excellent, and also third

I’ll go back to the other third one another time

Goodnight all

Tea: pork cutlet, chips and beans

The RAC went away again after spending some time poking about under the bonnet of the sickly black car. And a while later, the car itself was gone; hopefully, it had left under its own power rather than being towed away or anything
