No sign of symptoms

I feel perfectly fine, thank you very much for asking.

My employers have found a remarkably efficient way of piling virtual work onto my at-home desk, so I’ve got plenty to be going on with. I’ve decided to conduct an experiment into How Professionalism and Productivity are Effected by Choice of Clothing, so I’m doing everything today in my slippers and dressing gown.

 

Despite being forced into isolation I am managing to find the time to watch some stuff I missed over Christmas. ‘How to Train Your Dragon 3’ wasn’t great plot-wise, but the CGI was breath-taking and some of the production design was sumptuous. It was quite scary how good the facial expressions on the characters were. So much movement, so many nuances and twitches, it was the closest we have yet come to a convincing portrayal of the reality of a human face. Thank God they went with the exaggerated anime-style eyes on everyone or I might have thought I was watching live action.

Dr Who was all right, but no more than that. I do wonder how much longer this programme can survive the interference from the BBC ‘Political Correctness’ and ‘Determined To Highlight Diversity’ divisions. I’m not sure the addition of John Bishop to the cast will be a step in the right direction.

‘Black Narcissus’ Part 1 was so boring that I haven’t bothered watching the rest of it.
