  1/7 Post author ByCharlie April 8, 2022 The Weekly Update #1 – TV Channel Blog Post, Short Blogs and More theweeklyrambler.com/the-weekly-update-1-tv-channel-blog-post-short-blogs-and-more/ Welcome to the first edition of The Weekly Update. This is a SHORT blogpost that I am going to try and do each week amongst the usual blogposts. It will focus on giving some news about what is happening with the blog, such as what I am working on and any plans, I am willing to share. The Weekly Update will also focus on other little things I decide to include which may be little updates on former blogposts I have done, and other related news to such blogposts. I may also include some bits of in-real-life lifestyle news from time to time (nothing super personal obviously) and anything else that is misc enough to be lumped in here probably at the ending of the update. So, let’s get to it… Easter is Busier Than I thought it Would Be

  2/7 Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Imagesfrom Pixabay I genuinely thought that this week I would have more time after having finished with the Health and Social Care certificate that I had been doing. But boy was I dead wrong, not only was I dog sitting for the week, which meant a lot of walks for wee wees and poo poos since I live in a flat (meaning no convenient garden), I also had a bunch of Easter related activities I committed to taking part in and writing a piece for the young film event program group I am a part of. So, it was a PACKED week where I may well have ironically been busier than I was at any time of the Health and Social Care studying and sessions. But it was all fun. The social activities are great as I am interested in developing my social skills and also helping out in the community through volunteering and activities through my social groups. Plus, I also finally joined an art club as well. My first session at the art club had me taking part in a silent auction which was a lot of fun and allowed me to get started with a bunch of paints, a canvas board, and a bunch of other artistic equipment for drop bottom cheap.

  3/7 The week ingeneral had me doing lots and lots of walking and my feet and legs are extremely achey from having to rush around and walk long distances. But it is worth it, plus exercise is good. As for the dog sitting I very much love dogs so it was a good time, plus I also got paid for it as well. And as for the piece I am working on for the young film event programmer group I am in, I may well also share that here as well, you know cause content. This brings me on to the next part I discovered about myself… BREAKING NEWS: I am Terrible at Short Blogposts Image by congerdesign from Pixabay This is the truth of the matter, at least for now anyway. I ironically find it easier to create longer blogposts than shorter ones. Whenever I try to do a short blogpost, I always feel like I am cutting too many corners and that there is not enough information so it ends up taking much longer and turning into a larger blogpost… I guess I try to perfect things too much. I want my blogposts to be the best they can be and so I just spend a lot more time on them than I really should. I think the Dark Items blogposts are going okay and they are what I would consider short. But I also had the grand idea of doing a short blogpost that looked at the five big TV channels in the UK – BBC One and Two, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5. It was going to be in a list format and give some interesting bits of information on to the origins of each and how they are different from each other…

  4/7 or at leastthat’s what the original plan was, this blog post has since turned into another large project that has gone far beyond a short blogpost. I just feel like I could not leave out all of the background information that helps make it all have more sense. And it is barely even halfway done yet despite me working on it (when even possible with how busy the week has been) since Monday. So much for a short and easy blogpost to be up by Friday… that has not happened. Annoyingly this also pushes back the other large project I am still working on which is going to be about the ships (and other equipment) used by the Royal Navy, as part of the much larger Commonwealth armed forces series that remains in its infancy despite starting it in the middle of last year. Time. There’s never enough of it. And even when I try to plan around this and make short blogposts, they often just explode into larger blogposts. I am finding it to be a real dilemma. So yes, I need to get much, much better at creating smaller blogposts that fit into weeks when I am busy. Next week, as it is still Easter, I will also still be busy with more Easter social activities so I will again be attempting to get out some shorter blogs, certainly another Dark Items one. Another idea I had for short blogposts as well was having a random generator choose a word for me and just have me talk about that word and look into it. But then again, I don’t know if that would really be that good. But I will probably give it a go. I should also look into Commonwealth news as well as that should provide some content, I can make some short blogposts out of. I guess it is just practice makes perfect when it comes to making actual short blogposts. Fixed-Term Parliament Act 2011 is Gone

  5/7 Image by PublicDomainPicturesfrom Pixabay So, this is a little old. But anyway, I am thinking of also making a blogpost on this at some point as it is pretty important news for the UK, and as I am a UK-based blog with an interest in politics then I think it makes sense to look into it. I mean, this piece of legislation has been quite defining for a political system since it came into law, especially during the whole BREXIT debacle when the Government was trying its hardest to force an election due to the utter deadlock. Man, that was something. Anyway, with that law now repealed the Government once again has the power to straight up ask the Queen to dissolve Parliament without needing Parliament’s consent, just like the old days. The old days when politics did not seem to be so divisive and vicious as it seems now. Well, that’s the most basic gist of the matter anyway. We can dive deeper into it with a blogpost soon. Starstreak Takes out Russian Aircraft over the Donbas

  6/7 Photo by Nilfanionfrom Wikimedia Commons. CC BY-SA 3.0. Source. I am including this news as it lets me link back to my former post on the equipment, weapons and vehicles used by the British Army. The Starstreak, an advanced anti-air missile system that was featured in that blogpost, has taken out its first Russian aircraft in Eastern Ukraine over Luhansk. And I say kudos, let us keep sending them over. I find it very interesting how hammered Russia is getting in this war. I like many had expected Russia to eventually win the war, but it seems like such a win if any at all will be a lot smaller, and can we really call that a win? As the war now shifts more towards the Donbas things are once again getting more horrific as Russia continues to mount its war crimes. The complete logistical failure and incompetence of the Russian Army is quite extraordinary and I think has highlighted a lot to the world. Russia is not as strong as it always tried to let on. That’s not to say they still cannot cause a lot of geopolitical issues and changes, they can and have – if we look at places in central and northern Africa and in the Middle East, they certainly do. But Ukraine has shown us they simply do not have the capacity to fight a conventional war, even against a country that is less powerful than itself. This war is going to define Russia’s weakness for many decades to come and I think will lead to a number of interesting events. Nuclear weapons really are only one of the very few things that keeps Russia somewhat scary and enables it to maintain its current position.

  7/7 I very muchhope Ukraine will be able to take back all of Eastern Ukraine and perhaps even Crimea, but we shall see. That WOULD be extraordinary. We should continue to give them all the support we can. Well. I guess that is about it for the first edition of The Weekly Update. I am very much hoping to keep this going for as long as the blog exists. I think it only makes sense to keep everyone informed with relevant information, and other little interesting tidbits.
