Finishing up my BAFTA film watch for voting… as ever I do wish that all the films with women screaming, sobbing, running in terror, being dragged across the floor… had the same amount of that stuff happening to men.

Happy PLR statement day to those who celebrate. If you’re an author and you haven’t registered your books for Public Lending Right payments, you could be missing out.

Something I learned today: you can’t simultaneously play Doom 2 and listen to Martin Jarvis playing Jeeves on Radio 4. It’s the neural equivalent of doing the splits.
