    Bit odd. Just been updating the privacy policy on my website after switching to the new Google Analytics and found the link I had to GDPR policy - https://www.eugdpr.org/ was taking me to a cosmetic website with a completely different URL. Eh????

      It appears that our first application to foster has been successful and in a couple of weeks there will be the pitter-patter of tiny feet around the house.

        Tonight's major motion picture premiere was The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022), starring Nicolas Cage as an actor called Nicolas Cage who, though he'd previously found fame with films such as Face/Off, Con Air, and Mandy, is now a washed-up debt-ridden has-been, hoping for a chance to make a comeback… It's self-referentiality all the way down with this one, and none the worse for that

        And then a rewatch of the excellent psychological thriller Columbus Circle (2012) which I continue to insist would have been a big hit if one of the producers hadn't been accused of millions of dollars worth of securities fraud, apparently leading the studio to hastily push it straight to video to avoid embarrassment by association

        Early night now as I travel south for a hospital visit again tomorrow

        Goodnight all

          Morning all
          Didn’t sleep too well, so I’ve decided to watch and listen to the dawn chorus.

            Conspiracies thing on Quest: USS Scorpion: was it sunk by the Reds or a hydrogen explosion? Does Planet X/Nibiru exist? Was it really Richard III they buried in Leicester? What and why are all these trainers containing feet washing up along the Pacific Northwest near Vancouver and the Salish Sea?

              After a grey and rather chilly walk with ll1 yesterday we were sitting in the cafe when the alarm went off and everyone had to leave. Fortunately we had just finished our coffees, unlike some others.

                Morning denizens

                Grey day out again, though in a change of tactics, it should brighten up this afternoon. It's 10°C at the moment and aiming for 17°, while the barometers are continuing to rebound at 1017/1025mB

                  Another funny coincidence. Not long after post re fire alarm above, my own fire alarm went off. Couldn't see any reason for it.

                    Morning all (local time 0837)

                    Cloudy today. Currently 22 degrees with a high of 26 expected. Very low risk of rain.

                    Out for lunch later with a former work colleague of HWMBO's.

                      Home again after travelling south to take my Dad to visit my Mum in hospital. She was in good form, considering; she reckons the infection is starting to clear up. She's still in pain from the other injuries though. But she was certainly much perkier than the other patients in her bay, although simple evidence of consciousness would be enough to beat most of them

                      Taking my Dad home, I followed a route he likes to take which involves strange meanderings via the town centre and the Embankment along the river - I suspect it's simply to avoid a right turn into their drive. But it just happens to go past the HQ of the Panacea Society, now the Panacea Museum, so I was able to give a nod to the spirits of Octavia and her followers
