It’s official: I had just enough cash, yesterday, to have a haircut.
Something I’m thankful for, I know that.
I was getting … uncomfortable … let’s uptimes it that way.
And I managed to find the one barbers in town that was open, didn’t have a queue … and could do something straight away.
So that’s nice.

If you’re in the UK … ?
You’ll have seen news of the killing of police officer, Sgt. Matiu Ratana, yesterday.
By a drug dealer armed with a gun.
These events are incredibly rare: they last time a police officer was shot was in 2012.
I’ve got one question.
How on Earth did the dealer manage to shoot someone … with his arms handcuffed behind his back … ?
Dear god!

I’m just listening to Radio 4’s Today programme, at the moment.
They’ve just had a fascinating — ish — piece about NASA’s latest fund-raising effort.
NASA’s going to let Estée Lauder shoot ads on the International Space Station.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant lap for blusher!”
As Neil Armstrong didn’t say!
In all honesty, though?
I know science — especially big science like the ISS, or CERN — need funds.
Raising cash through make-up ads?
Seems an odd way of doing it!
