One week in…
Being as I’m confined to bed for a couple of weeks, with visits to the loo along the landing as far as I’ve gone, here’s what I’ve been up to.
I’ve watched every televised football game, and a couple of games in The Hundred.
Four seasons of Strike on the iPlayer.
Finished Strange New Worlds.
Watched an eight part series on BBC Four about the Roman Colosseum.
Highlander the movie, which is not as good as I remembered it. Really poor production values.
The Dark Knight. Still great, and Heath Ledger is still the best Joker.
Gave Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves a go and wasted two hours of my life.
Rewatched The Sandman, and was pleasantly surprised to discover an extra bonus episode at the end that’s been subsequently added since last year.
Talking of rewatching, I gave The Hacienda - The Club That Shook Britain another spin.
I also watched a documentary about some gig promoters called Pollen which reminded me of the Fyre debacle a few years ago. I'd recommend it. Find it on BBC Three
I also watched Wednesday on Netflix, which I enjoyed immensely. It's great, you should watch it.
Listened to loads of podcasts, and obviously every episode of The Archers.
Got to page 535 of Robert Galbraith’s (I know who it is, you don’t need to tell me, and that’s why I watched Strike on the telly) The Ink Black Heart, which weighs in at a hefty 1221 pages. Boy oh boy can that girl write.
And generally been treated like a king by my beautiful wife.
So there you go. It’s amazing what you can accomplish in a single week if you put your mind to it.
If I can recommend something ……TV film “Marvellous” starring Toby Jones, a true story about the Stoke City kit man……and I know you have a penchant for a good kit man.
