A #sandman act II thread.

4am: The cat, who has always slept in our bed decides to come up to head level. He then proceeds to purr. It is adorable, but more preferable if it was 6am.

7.30am: Waiting for train. Flicking through twitter. Some reports that @neilhimself, @DirkMaggs et al's Sandman Act II has dropped. I haven't preordained but I didn't think I needed to, I had a subscription.

8am: It seems I don't have a subscription, but then I don't have very good Internet on the train into London.

8.30am to 6.15pm. I work like a bustard in what was supposed to be an easy day but in fact has meetings at 9am, 2pm, 2.30pm and 4pm.

I end up on the late train home and lament that the trains are still not back on the pre-plague schedule.

7.30pm. The account just says order processing and I cannot work out why. I give up and have dinner with my wonderful wife.

9.30pm. I remember that my old card expired at the end of last month.

10pm. The Sandman Act II is on my phone. I have 3 hours of commute left this week, 7.5 next week. I am probably going to miss some trains in my near future.

How can my phone get away with auto correcting preorder to preordained and bastard to bustard. It's not a ducking Nokia 3310!

And now, thanks to my commute I am two episodes down and right at the start of episode 3. I thought Act I was more or less perfect. So far, this is better. Every single person involved in this should be proud that they clearly brought their A game.

And now 10 mins into episode 6. (Thanks lunchbreak) and yes, I just missed my train. There is something wonderful about being on Euston Road for half an hour amongst the buildings that felt so strange and unusual when I first came here and listening to the strange and unusual.

And finally, this is Indiana. We rescued him from @NAWT_updates. He can pull open doors. He had been returned multiple times by others. He is crazy and rules with an iron fist. He has worked out how to open a yale lock but doesn't have the leverage. https://t.co/nFgSKSatHM

He loves us. We all.slepp together. He comes with me to the shops
When I came home from.a business trip the other day I had technical problems https://t.co/ORYiZ43XHr

And he was @nawt_updates because he was violent and sad. I think turning a bitey scratchy monster into a loving evil genius who has our back is one of the best things I have ever done. Adopt a pet. Jump the hoops.

Sorry got carried away there.

Have a lovely day.
