    Finally successfully administered subcutaneous fluid to Jack. Expect I'll stop shaking in a few days. This is never going to feel comfortably routine. Who'd voluntarily be a nurse? Putting liquids into people and taking liquids out all day; it's not natural. #cats

    "Never before, I reflected to him, had I seen a war in which so many people took photographs of so many of their dead enemies. Another product, I guess, of the #Facebook age." #q Robert #Fisk http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/6844 #Syria

    1. How did food from the West Midlands end up in Isis-controlled territory in Syria?
      from The Independent
      It’s below zero degrees on the vast dirt hillside above Totah but through the mist and freezing rain, I can see the Syrian general’s target, a small Isis-held village across a valley of mud. There’s a crash of artillery fire from his Shilka guns, and you wait several seconds before the shells fall behind a clump of hillside trees. The smoke billows into the cold air and it takes another few seconds before the sound of the explosions reaches back to us. Then another few seconds before Isis shoots back at the Syrians. Heavy machine gun fire that echoes and thumps up the wadis.

    Been on a detective series binge lately. Whatever next? Antiques Roadshow? Rewatching #Cracker, which isn't as grim as I remember it from 25 years ago (I must have been desensitised in the interim - which can be quite painful), and just finished the first series of #Broadchurch, a sumptuous smörgåsbord of red herrings with some rather incestuous new-Who-centric casting.

    Just stopped for now. Have got the "2048" tile on #GNOME 2048 twice, highest score 28920. Differs from the version in #F-Droid in that only "2" tiles spawn; in the latter it can be 2 or 4. Dunno which is more canonical.

    I read this in the #NME at the time. Good time to be into music. The #Pogues and Brix-era #Fall at their peak, a decade's worth of punk, post-punk, and indie to mine, and beer at $2 a schooner ($1 at happy hour).

MES: In that case you should have brought your mate Joe Strummer along.

    1. The Quietus | Features | Rock's Backpages | When Mark Met Nick & Shane: Three Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
      from The Quietus
      From Rock's Backpages this month, an infamous NME pop summit from 1989. James Brown and Sean O'Hagan took Mark E Smith, Nick Cave & Shane MacGowan to the Montague Arms (RIP) in New Cross. Great merriment ensued... (republished 24th January 2018)

    #RIP Mark E. Smith. Gobsmacked. What a void left in music. Though I daresay his work ethic will still see him putting out an album a year for the foreseeable future. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/6778 #Fall

    Wow. That's a narrow temperature range there. From a chilly 23℃, soaring to a balmy 24℃. The Pacific Ocean is evidently a very efficient heat sink. https://www.yr.no/place/Norfolk_Island/Other/Norfolk_Island/long.html

    In the holiday vein, I enjoyed Alan Bennett's 2017 diary, informed as it was by the slim (i.e. short enough for me to read to the end) autobiographical volume you lent me. https://media.lrb.co.uk/benn01_4001_01.mp3
