Glasses and Any Human Heart

[erastes]

I am now using my glasses full-time without the occlusion. It’s still not perfect but it’s great to be nearly there. My next appointment is 30th December. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to get the all –clear? I doubt that, but I travel hopefully.

I don’t know if anyone has been watching “Any Human Heart” but I have to say, I’ve been struggling with it. I haven’t read the book, and I suppose I should do before I slag off the series but Good God it’s a bit dull. I think they were going with the “let’s try and make another GBH” or something and it’s so not. It’s woolly, self-indulgent (he keep repeating himself over and over and over) and with the most unlikeable protagonist.  Now you know me, as I normally LIKE unlikeable protagonists, but he’s just ghastly. Boring, self serving, and as far as I can see, has no positive traits whatsoever!

Is anyone else watching?  What do you think of it?  The costumes are lovely, but it’s really not gripping me. I shall watch it, because I’m a finisher, but not impressed.

I gave up on it at the first instalment, I'm afraid. I'm a finisher too, for the very sake of it, but nowadays I make the early decision whether to even start! Good cast, but I just didn't take to any character in the first hour.

it seems to be a general thumbs down all round
