Home, where I found our new cooke-mayde Elizabeth, whom my wife never saw at all, nor I but once at a distance before, but recommended well by Mr. Creed, and I hope will prove well.

1824: Looked over 'The Human Heart' the title has little connection with the contents it displays the art of book making in half-filld pages & fine paper 'The Murderer's Death-bed' is very poor - the worst thing in the Newgate Calendar is as interesting 'Thou shalt do no Evil, etc' is a new...

1777: Distant lightening. We had but little rain, only the skirts of the storm. The dry weather, which was of infinite service to the country after so wet a summer, might fairly be said to last eight weeks: three of which had no rain at all, & much sun-shine. Some of the store-wethers on this...

#CelebrityTraitors that I am looking forward to the most are: Hannah Fry, Richard E Grant and Sebastian Croft. The ones that I think will be most hilarious will be James Blunt and Jerry Hall. And the least: Romesh Ranganathan and Amol Rajan (ghastly) - the ones we love to hate?

Binge-watched the Obi Wan Kenobi series over the last few days... (setting myself up for an impromptu viewing of Ep IV this evening.) Struck by a much under-rated example of the (very, very) many pairings in the galaxy far, far away: Tala and NED-B. Rather wonderful, in a very understated way.

A still from the penultimate episode of the Obi Wan Kenobi series, showing Indira Varma as 'Tala' and Dustin Ceithamer as the loader-droid 'NED-B', at the point of their tragic but heroic demise on Jabiin.

All hail Colonel Stanislav Petrov: (And would AI manage to take this decision?)

"He went on to insist he was just doing his duty.

That may well be true, but it is also slightly misleading. On that September morning Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov stopped and thought, rather than blindly followed orders. In doing so he did indeed do his duty, but it was not just to his country — it was to the human race.

And for that he deserves to be remembered."

Is it a prerequisite that in all police dramas every Chief Constable has to be a complete twat? It seems to be a common feature in all as far as I can tell... (Morse perhaps being the exception that proves the rule - Strange is bumptious but overall a jolly good egg, even for a Mason 🤣)

On BBC payscales it costs the same to employ ten "normal" journalists as it costs to employ one Chris Mason. Unrelated: there's an all-staff call tomorrow for BBC Local to find out where the next round of cuts are happening.
