WATCHING.
Could
you read it?
I
am a grade 2 listed diabetic who has been very lucky; over the past
couple of years, despite murmurings in the direction of age-related
cataracts, the prescription from my optician has not changed. So I
was able to read the tiny lettering (the apparent designer type size
for Google Chrome is TNR14) in which Post 2 (8) appears. But it
really is small, isn't it.? Google Chrome, of course, does not extend
to the user the old fashioned choice of small, medium or large type
size. Proof, were it needed, that no change, for whatever reason, is
ever for the better.That having been said, an email, purporting to
come from the Inland Revenue to tell me I may be due a refund (some
hopes), arrived recently: it was promptly given the 'we cannot
process this' treatment by those same Google buddies. Can't complain
about that, can you? Anyway, I have gone back to square one –
almost – and upped the type size for this contribution. See
how it goes.
I'll
sit anywhere dot com.
Two
trays used by family members when snacking whilst watching tele
(dreadful habit...don't tell me) had been stacked upside down on my
footstool. The
cat Shadow,
being a cat, seized the opportunity. My Leader, who had only
abandoned the trays for a few minutes, laughed:
“Look
at that. I'll sit anywhere dot com.”
TELEVISION.
Gawdelpusitsgamesagain!
Yep,
games again. Tennis (the itches
are
back in force - Djokovic beat Federer in the men's final), golf (the
Women's British Open blew through Royal Birkdale in windy weather)
and footie (the World Cup was won by Germany on ITV and the Beeb at
the same time). If you didn't follow any of it you had to read a book
or go sky diving or mountaineering.
Alan
Hansen.
The
football pundit retired after the world cup. He played football as a
central defender for Partick Thistle, Liverpool and Scotland and
followed that with 22 years at the BBC as one of the experts on Match
of the Day. This is a man who experienced the best and the worst in
football moments. Cup and league successes were offset by both the
Heysel and Hillsborough stadium disasters. His television work has
shown him to be as cool a pundit as he was a player and he will be a
very hard act to follow. Good
luck and good golfing, Mr. Hansen.
THE
DETECTIVES.
Grimm.
Another
season finished and this time Nick has been divested of his Grimm
status by the infuriating Adalind. If you are interested it looks as
if Season 4 will start on October the 24th this year.
CSI:
Crime Scene Investigation.
Apparently
series 15 has been commissioned. It needs to be a little more
positive than season 14, which seems to have lurched from the
unlikely to the unbelievable with scarcely a twitch of Ted Danson's
spectacles. Paul
Guilfoyle,
who has been Captain Jim Brass since the show's inception, will not
be in it. Written out. Shame. We liked him. Good luck, tough guy.
