I went to see Project Hail Mary today. It was very good, but good lord, the karaoke scene came out of nowhere and destroyed me.

Six science fiction paperbacks by Bob Shaw, James White and Harry Harrison.

Six science fiction paperbacks by Bob Shaw, James White and Harry Harrison.

Charity shop finds of the day.
The Oxfam bookshop in York (the one nearest the train station) had a nice selection of 1980s-era science fiction paperbacks. Of which I "indulged" myself. I've not read any Bob Shaw, or James White, and very little Harry Harrison. So it is time to rectify this

Today, I visited the National Railway Museum in York for probably the 4th time. And it was a pleasant surprise to finally see the Flying Scotsman on the turntable.

Love that the guy trying to dethrone Orban is Peter Magyar. Itโ€™s like if the Democratic nominee in 2028 was named John American.

The First Doctor, Stephen, Bret Vyon and Katerina from Doctor Who The Daleks Masterplan.

This morning I was getting everything ready before going to the airport, but I figured I *just* had time to watch #DoctorWho Daleks Masterplan episodes 1-3.

(I.e. the new recoveries plus the one in the middle.)

So I did. ("Priorities, dear boy" as the Doctor might say.)

Great fun.

McCoy, in a Klingon courtroom, holding a translator, looking up appreciatively to the one guy laughing at his joke.

When Kirk and McCoy are on trial for murder in a Klingon courtroom and McCoy cracks a joke that gets a laugh from just one unseen guy up in the gallery. That's why I watch Star Trek.

Artemis II crew standing in front of the rocket.

I was big into space as a kid. I watched the first shuttle launches live and imagined it was a bit like the Apollo launches, which I had missed.
And I have been looking to humans returning to the moon for decades. And here we are!
And I confess I find I'm a bit "meh" about whole thing...

Weird to think that Liza Minnelli and Dusty Springfield were respectively only 43 and 50 when they made their comeback records with the Pet Shop Boys. At the time they felt like ancient ghosts of showbiz past. The equivalents now (in age if not in stature) would be Cheryl Tweedy and Emma Bunton.

Early start for me today, taking the train to Dublin. It's going to be a long journey, but at least I get to see the sun rise.
