I went to write today's date and instead automatically wrote 7 December 1941.
I rarely think about the Roman Empire, but ask me how often I think about World War II... 😬
Pleased to learn that Detroit finally has its 11-foot statue of Robocop. It's the second thing I ever backed on Kickstarter 😂
I'm swimming 10k again in November for Cancer Research UK - any donations are much appreciated!

I took on this challenge last year to support Cancer Research UK and kick off my training for an English Channel relay swim (which I didn't wind up swimming, but that's another story!). This year I'm doing it purely to raise money for cancer research, in memory of beloved friends and family members who are no longer here. All donations are appreciated!
I finally wrote (in detail) about not swimming the English Channel - but going along for the ride anyway!
The call has been received: the Jitterbugs channel relay team is setting off tomorrow evening (Thursday) from Dover at 11:30 p.m. BST, and I will be on the boat as support crew!
If you're interested in this sort of thing, you can track our boat (Gallivant) on the CSPF website: http://cspf.co.uk/tracking
There's also a Facebook page which we hope to update regularly as we go: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579113011310

This week, one of my oldest and best clients ("best" not in terms of the amount of work I get from them - which generally isn't very much - but in terms of how important I think they are and how much they mean to me) told me they're planning to translate their new website into English using machine translation, and would I kindly personally translate a glossary they could use as the basis for this?
I can't even muster much anger at this point, just sad disappointment. Very sad.
(Also, obviously, I said no.)
