28th January, 2024: Data Privacy Day.
Yes: it’s officially Sunday.
And frankly?
I’ve turned the radio off: Radio Four’s Sunday morning services can be a touch loud!
It’s now … um … …
Quiet.
I might have to put the radio back on, in a bit!

Oh … I’ve managed to pick up a few (cheap) bits and bobs from Amazon.
Including a (cheap) new webcam.
One that — in theory — can record in 4k.
That might be useful.
Another thing?
Was a cheap copy of Orwell’s “Politics and the English Language”.
OK, I know it was an essay he wrote, and published in a magazine called Horizon.
But I wasn’t expect it to be quite so small.
Even given that?
It’s still, like so much of the man’s work, very quotable!
“When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases […] one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy”.“Politics and the English Language”, George Orwell*.
