Watching 'Make my Day'.

Happy Wednesday folks!

Yes, I've checked this time, it is Wednesday; that cheeky little bugger that prevents Tuesday and Thursday colliding.

I'd been watching F1 for about 40+ years, but in the last few years it's been losing me.

This year I only watched one or two live races at the start of the season, then stuck to watching YouTube highlights, then stuck to watching Indycar.

Had planned to watch more Formula E, but epic failed. 😄

Woke up thinking it was Wednesday.
Watch out for those sneaky Tuesdays.

Did anyone else not get through their forty fourth orbit without asking, 'where'd I put my glasses?', like it's an involuntary tic?

My other half sent me a BlueSky invite. First follow other than her: a grifter crypto bro...

I have found a few accounts I once followed elsewhere (sci-fi writers, artists, writers, scientists, special interest) but also a few 'placeholder' accounts - Brian Cox has thousands of followers, zero posts.

Can't pin posts, can't filter words; I've become too accustomed to curating my public space that way.

It's got nothing 'killer' - nothing better to offer than here and fedi.

Filtering words so not to see posts about the things I don't want to see post about, curate the public space if you like, is great, but the technology isn't quite there to filter screegrabs of tweets including filtered words, and faces of evil and evil's spawn that make we want to barf. Can't block 100% of the noise, I get that. Just having a moan. 😅

It's been an 80's and 90's anthology science fiction series kind of Sunday.

The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits need a re-release, or availability on a streaming platform in the UK. The Outer Limits DVD's I imported from Canada are particularly bad, noisy, compressed transfers; even for 480p.

Couldn't decide, so we got both...

Triumphant return for Davies, Tennant, and Tate. Like Fleetwood Mac reuniting after 15 years and banging out another 'Rumours'.

Okay... maybe a bit overexcited. 😅

While I could happily feast on a full season, mustn't be too greedy; I've every confidence Gatwa will be brilliant. #DoctorWho

New album from Vince Clarke.

Finally watched John Wick 4. Loved the first, barely remember the second, the third was silly fun, but enough is enough.

I'll have to stop moaning about the local council putting the tree up just after bonfire night now. 😂

I've become 'one of those' 😅 It's still November and for Sunday meal at the Woodman in Swansea I had a festive burger with chilli cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets, and a Christmas pudding with brandy sauce for afters. 🍔🎄🤘

Like Europe, America has some great pure racetracks: Watkins Glen, Road America, Laguna Seca, Long Beach, Pocono, Sebring, Indianapolis, Daytona, to name a few off the top of my head; it's like F1 is either too snobby, showy, or the FIA's requirements or demands are too high to race on proper racetracks anymore. I hate these new tracks designed 'for the show'. #f1

Today is World Diabetes Day. It is marked every year on 14th of November, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922.

So far today I've streamed hi-res music on Qobuz, listened to CDs bought in my teens, and played vinyl the same age as me. Just need a cassette player... nah, fuck that hissy shit.

Consider again that pale blue dot...
