Last year, after 50 years or so, I started wearing proper pyjamas again. This year I started tucking the top in to the bottoms. Reminds me of my childhood and keeps my back warm.

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

The 1889 dock strike was a key event in the industrial history of East London. The striking dockers were ultimately successful in securing the ‘dockers’ tanner’ and had gained the sympathy of the public for their cause.

The invention of photography had major impacts on art. Some artists imitated photographic effects. Others deliberately differentiated their works from the “diabolical invention” ~ compare Van Gogh’s portrait of Eugene Boch, & a photo of him

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

I keep little tin containing a variety of guitar picks in my office, for fellow guitarists to use when they come over for a jam. I've given it a lot of thought and really tried to cover all bases. Sadly, I don't know any fellow guitarists and nobody has ever come over for a jam.
