It's dark, it's late, it's raining…

Yes, it's dark and late at night on this side of the world, and I'm guessing where you are, it's probably winter, the sun's disappeared, the day is freezing cold, and you're having a hard time keeping warm.

Here, in the so-called land down under, which surprisingly a lot of people from the other side of the world do not know about, it is wet, and cool where it should be sunny and hot as well as humid.

Now, hang on, that can't be true others don't know about us, because we all know the world is round and there has to be something or somewhere opposite. I know that north we have China, and Europe, and further away, the United States.

Been to China, Europe and the United States, so I know you're all there, somewhere.

And, as you can see, the rain and the cold have amped up the boredom factor and pushed me to do anything other than writing. I have three jobs I'm supposed to be doing,

Editing the second Walthenson PI, a Private Detective novel
Writing two episodes of a serial story about surveillance going wrong, and
Finishing off some new travel blog posts

None of them is appealing to me at the moment.

Instead, I find myself looking at what is shown on Winter TV in the US, one of which is reruns of Snowpiercer and is suitably cold. It's also complicated, and sometimes a little hard to follow which means it takes two viewings to understand what's going on. It will be interesting to see where series three leads us ... and I'm hoping Melanie will be back

Fascinating.

Then there are several of my favourites, FBI, The Rookie, a show called The Equalizer, a new version of an old TV show I used to watch many years ago. Another will be the next series of Bridgerton, which was odd but interesting since we like those Jane Austen-like programs. Now hopefully there will be another series of Miss Scarlett and the Duke, set in Victorian England.

And as for the blacklist, since Liz left it had gone downhill ... let's hope they find something to lift it, like Liz's evil twin sister! Perhaps wisely they wrapped it up, and it's over.

There's more, but I better get back to work.
