Fantastic BTS shot of the Nostromo landing leg. This was another big set made to look even bigger by putting kids into scaled spacesuits.
There's a smaller version of this so they could film the leg touching down, but this is really impressive.

Five quid. I paid more for it on cassette in the 1980s. And the vinyl is im-mac-ul-late.

Abundance of fruit, plus monkeys, squirrel, & guinea pigs. All the animals are alive because it's Jan van Kessel II's pantry, and today is his day.

Took 7 year old son to the Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank today, where they had a fantastic exhibition showing some of the photography from the 1965 Gemini missions. Hopefully the next generation of Traveller GMs starts here!

One of my Arabic teachers told me the Arabic for “midlife crisis” is “jahl Al khamseenaat”, basically “the idiocy of the 50s”, a phrase I often think about for no reason

Uh oh, I’m in trouble… I started listening to a bunch of Traveller podcasts. Signals From The Core, the long-ended Behind The Claw, and even the SAFCO podcast. I blame this on my recent acquisition of a bunch of GURPS Traveller books which, well, is probably also trouble?

One of my favourite quotes. Don't mess with books. (Similarly in "Guards! Guards!", "The three rules of the Librarians of Time and Space are: 1) Silence; 2) Books must be returned no later than the last date shown; and 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality.")
