Graceless

I just watched S2 Ep1 of Grace, based on the Peter James detective novels, set in Brighton. Honestly, fucking hell. It started at 8pm, and within a few minutes there was a shot of a blackened corpse hanging, far too close up. WTF? There's always been a tradition that 9pm is the watershed and before then things are child friendly. This wasn't even adult friendly, awful. Then, lots of street scenes and the next murder took place at the bottom of the road I used to live in, which is just wrong. Next a woman walking her dog where I walk Shirley quite often, finds a hand from the body just killed in my road. Finally there's a chase and a showdown, on the docks right next to my sea glass beach. As well as that it was rubbish. Too sensational, nasty, shite. I'll probably watch the next episode as well though - I do love seeing Brighton on telly. Loads of shots of the piers, a starling murmuration, all you could ask for. Shame about the gratuitous nastiness. 


During yoga this evening I kept nearly falling asleep, even when I wasn't really that comfortable - that wooshy feeling as reality slips away. Sitting forward fold, with legs straight out in front, tilted forward from the hips, forehead resting on the mini bolster, hamstrings complaining like fuck and I start drifting off to sleep. Mental. Then I ate a big dinner and now I'm wide awake. 


Today's shite in politics, was the fucking Mail running a story about Angela Raynor (deputy leader of Labour) using unfair Basic Instinct 'ploys' to distract Johnson when he's speaking in the House of Commons. What they mean by this is she's female and has legs and sometimes crosses them when sitting down and how can any man be expected to concentrate on anything else when this is going on? There was no suggestion of anything more than this. Just crossing and recrossing her legs. Fuckers. Double page spread, with photoshopped picture, next to the photo from the film. Vile. Someone else has posted a photo on Twitter of an NHS team sat around eating pizza after a shift, saying they should be prosecuted as well as Johnson, though the photo comes from a newspaper, dated before the first lockdown. They've been asked to take it down as it's untrue, but it's still there, still buzzing round the internet. It doesn't even matter that we know this is all lies, there are enough people who believe it and might still vote for them in the local elections the week after next. I feel they'll be fucking lucky to not get thrashed, but you never know.
