I'm playing Bob Dylan's Christian period albums in the background while working today. My mind is on what I'm typing so the lyrics are floating past without sinking in. Musically speaking, the albums are a lot better than I expected.

Nice collision of the headline from one story and a picture from another on The Times website.
Story reading:

Russia 'jammed signals of RAF jet' carrying defence secretary
John Healey was flying home after visiting British troops undertaking military exercises in Estonia

Time and time again I get to the bottom of an excellent interview in the Guardian, then scroll up to see who wrote it, and see the name Simon Hattenstone. The recent one with Corrine Bailey Rae continues this pattern of high quality writing. Fantastic.
