This weekend has me planting Batman movies at spots to sit through. For two reasons.
1. A new Batman film is on the way.
2. I still think I'm in a Lockdown Universe.
On the second point; I've not been on a major night out since early March 2020. Not that that bothers me. The music that plays in various premises can usually be found on any radio playlist. It feels a scam paying to hear what I can enjoy for free at home. Yet even then I don't generally listen to the charts or, indeed, whatever platform artists are using today. Not to mention that I gave up alcohol the past two years. I didn't have a problem; I just didn't want nor need it.
And before I accuse myself for sounding old, let me mention that I have no problem doing so. Priorities have dramatically changed. A huge dollop of realism is dropped upon me every other week.
But during the lockdowns I started to relish in the home surroundings. With books I've bought but never read. The DVD collection my parents amassed over years around bargain bins. And what Freeview television can offer usually eclipses that of streaming services. And even then, you can access various streaming services for free. Granted you may be faced with watching old episodes of Baywatch or a small selection of recognisable but questionable movies from the 1980s. But the resources are there. I've said so many times before that you don't need a lot of money to live a cultured and enriched life.
On writing however; I will have to make more of an effort. In all the fashions of getting my words down on paper and out there for readers. I have been unemployed for just over three weeks. This has been a useful time for me to reassess what I can and can't lose. And because I live a frugal life now; I don't have much to throw away.
Next week I hope to continue my blogging entries. And between now and then I'll have something substantial to write about. But for now I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
