On the first day of lock down, I despaired at what I could find to do. My daily regime of cleaning cooking, writing and prayer can only go so far. The house is spotless and smells of bleach. I have a plan to upload some music to a folk site, being indoors does not negate a promise to debut a new sea song for a dear friend.
Television wise Netflix has been a good friend providing comedy and film but today Disney+ was launched and every bit of nostalgia is served up on a plate ready for lockdown. Movies for the children, National Geographic for home schooling and the best moment of my day was to discover 30 seasons of The Simpsons and the entire X Men: The Animated Series from the 90’s that made my childish heart skip a beat. Then again, I’m a massive X Men fan, I own no fewer than 200 comic books.
One day in and I’m halfway through season 2 of The Simpsons with plans to binge watch Star Wars in chronological order (I know risky territory), watch the original series The Mandalorian and finally as a Brit in the dark I shall understand this ‘Baby Yoda’ and his obsession with chicken nuggets. Of course, I shall also choose to watch Mickey Mouse, after all, this is his legacy.
Happy viewing.
