- Finished The Night Manager S2 last night.
- The Daily Fail interviewing the people who write angry comments under every local news story on Facebook, I see...
- The Western Australian police force spammed me on LinkedIn extolling the virtues of moving to Aus and joining up... Not sure they're really targeting the right people. 🙄
- Question for Victorian historians: I'm very excited as I've found an amazing photographic portrait of a little known composer. Her sister's name was Ada, and she appears to be wearing a broach right in the middle of her collar with her sister's name. Ada was still alive. Was this a normal practice?

- Question for British Library experts (please share!): if one wanted to put on a concert that included a piece that could only be found in the BL, then I guess the copying of that music would count as 'commercial gain'? Is permission very expensive?

- Today's wtf newspaper advert from 1862. Google rabbit hole tells me there was a 'garrotting panic in the 19th century' 😬 Fascinating! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...
- I based the lead character in my opera in Cugoano. His writings are so visceral, poetic and compelling. It's hard now to imagine how someone could read them and not be moved to action, but I guess we have plenty of contemporary examples of those in power ignoring the suffering of those beneath them.
- That first shot looks JUST like Jason Isaacs in The Patriot... I want to see all the thousands of takes they had to discard because someone grew an extra arm mid sentence, or swapped voices.
- 'This decision is a major setback for Sex Matters, which raised more than £65,000 to try and force the pond to ban trans people, trying to go against regular swimmers. More than 32,000 people said they wanted the ponds to remain trans inclusive – 86% of the respondents to the consultation'
- If anyone wants a guaranteed way to raise your stress levels, I would very much recommend trying to build this with a 5 year old.

- I'm researching a very obscure Bristol-born historic woman composer, and have just found that she was born EXACTLY 150 years before me...!

- Missed this news in December, but pretty shocked to read that most of 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat' is completely made up. 🤯
- Very happy to see Sinners doing so well. Incredible film.
