Out of Order?
Was it a mistake to watch six episodes straight, a real binge on Channel 4's Swedish Scandi-Noir Before We Die, then to not wake up until10 in the morning? I am asked is it not better than having a night out on the lash, then to wake up with the most terrible hangover; at least now we are bright and breezy. Always look on the bright side or what.
My first day out for a good while. New glasses to collect. Followed all the protocols but wondered, is it such a good thing for the television stations to broadcast that we are in a region with one of the lowest occurrences of covid? Does that just not encourage everyone to think it's safe to be out and about, because there were lots of folks out and about.
My football team, Sheffield Wednesday play their FA Cup fixture at 8:00PM on a Sunday, which doesn't seem right to me, even as a non-religious person I do believe that some times are not quite suited to football. Yes, I know that they do it in Europe, but, as the Channel 4 adverts remind me, we are longer in Europe, although let me tell you that I did vote to remain.
The game is against Everton, who we played in the final at Wembley in 1966. Ye, I was there, a fourteen-year-old schoolboy, who travelled down on the train from Penistone station. I lost my sandwiches in the furore which followed our second goal. Alas, defeat was swiftly upon us, courtesy of two goals from Mike Trebilcock, a Cornishman playing a long way from his roots. The journey home began in tears, but ended in a rousing sing-song throughout British Rails ancient carriages.
