Blog2019 ≫ The Curse of Oak Island

Hmm, I seem to have watched two episodes of this now and I think I am wasting my time... The Curse Of Oak Island is some bizarre nonsense about some guys convinced there is mysterious treasure buried on some land that they own in Canada. But they flip and flop as to whether it is a pirate galleon loaded with gold, or the arc of the covenant and the holy grail. They keep fortuitously finding clues that definitely definitely mean we're getting close now, just one more episode. Last episode they found a lead cross that definitely proved the Knights Templar came to this Canadian island in the fourteenth century. This episode they say it definitely means it was the Knights Templar but they were worshipping some ancient Phoenician goddess too. They are trying to link every mysterious conspiracy into this piece of land, I think they mentioned Shakespeare at some point too.

There is something compellingly Lost like about it, I suspect I will watch another episode.

Also watching Gotham, again I know that is not good but I think I will keep watching.

I have applied for a refund on my train tickets when we went to see Suede, as our train home was delayed by twenty one minutes... it took me ages to do this, the website constantly errored. I persevered and am fully expecting a refund of about a pound.

Also my delivery from Jockey finally arrived. I'm quite pleased with it, Clare likes the swimmers more than the lairy onese I was contemplating in Debenhams. The pants are good, the t-shirts feel a lot cheaper than the same ones I bought in the USA though. Everything is the right size at least.
