turpsI've just watched the first episode of Picard and very much enjoyed it.
It was fantastic to see Picard again, there's just something about him that makes you sit up and take notice. And I really liked his new living situation and Number One the dog. It made sense that he'd left Starfleet for the reasons he did and that his sense of honour and justice remained so strong. I also liked that they showed he had aged, for example, when he couldn't keep up with Dahj when they were running up the stairs. Because of course, he would have aged.
And, that end scene with the Borg cube. So great.
So yeah, a very solid first episode and I can't wait to meet all the new characters
It was a morning of appointments. Tinker has put on 50g in two days so the vet was happy with her but thinks she needs monthly B12 injections which is a shame as we'd been trying for 6 weekly. So, she's back in a month, plus we came away with some emergency appetite boost tablets in case she goes downhill again on a weekend.
After we brought her home it was off to the doctors for James' appointment. Thankfully his blood pressure has dropped, which is good as yesterday they were making noises about the hospital if it hadn't. But, his cholesterol is too high so he needs to make lifestyle changes to deal with that. But, it was still a mostly good visit and we thought he wouldn't be back for a week for another blood pressure test. Then, after we'd been home for a while the doctor phoned and said she'd seen a note on one of the ECGs he'd had taken over the last two visits and they need to check something and make sure the tablets he's on won't make a minor issue worse. So, another blood test and ECG has been booked for Monday.
Overall though, all news was good, so I'll take it.
