Not So Complicated

It's a complicated life they have, said The Missus in relation to the increasingly complex comings & goings & wheelings & dealings portrayed on The Morning Show. We watched a full two episodes today, thus getting good value from our subscription to Apple TV and breaking my records for watching stuff on the Goggle Box over recent years. It's all absurdly fascinating with plenty of what Noi terms glamour. (She came up with a pithy phrase early in today's viewing regarding this aspect of the world of the rich & powerful in American media, but I'm afraid I've forgotten the exact wording.)

Must say, I feel a powerful sense of relief that the world on our tv screen bears no resemblance whatsoever to our own happily limited life & lives. Something to celebrate as I set about the nasi goreng ikan bilis we're about to share. Eat slowly 'cause the food is hot, says Noi, as we ready ourselves to eat. That's quite enough excitement for me. No further glamour required.
