Another Ted Woodford vid. So much to like about this. Not only his skills, but the many aside comments he just drops in along the way.

So, happy 48th anniversary of That Lovely Diary Entry From Michael Palin
Sunday, November 13th Today, helped no doubt by the hard, bright freshness of a cool, sunny November morning, I have a feeling of completeness. The world makes sense this Sunday morning. Even the weather seems to be resting, peaceful and mel-lowed after the angry squalls of the last two days. There's a smell of beef and Yorkshire pudding and from where I write I can see the chimney letting out wisps of smoke from the fire in the sitting room. Yesterday I read through the novel so far and was greatly heartened. I saw much that worked and I also saw clearly what didn't work. I can see the way ahead and I can't wait to get going again tomorrow. I just feel very happy and very content at this moment. Nothing is expected of me today except to be here at home. I am perfectly well aware that around the borders of my life are problems, difficulties, painful decisions, even human tragedies demanding my involvement. I know I cannot live in a continual vacuum of happiness - but a day like today restores energies, tops up batteries, rebuilds whatever faith one has. Today there is nothing more I want than what I have.

It’s the 82nd anniversary of one of the world’s unluckiest ships, USS William D Porter, dropping a depth charge by accident, almost giving away, in U-boat-infested waters, the location of a convoy carrying President Roosevelt. Mind you, the following day, they accidentally fired a torpedo at him...

The film version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is available on BBC iPlayer.

If you haven’t see it, it’s worth a try.

In my opinion it has one of the best colour designs of any film, it has a cracking cast and it’s a great, shorter version of a terrific story.

One also needs to ask what reputational damage has actually been done to Trump, the man who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Here's an interesting post from Peston. I do hope the BBC opposes Trump's bullying.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:

1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

If it’s 10 November, it must be... yes, of course: the 55th anniversary of Sacheen Littlefeather being crowned Miss American Vampire by Regis Philbin as part of a promotion for American TV show Dark Shadows (before she went on to be more famous for turning down Marlon Brando’s Oscar…)

Happy Turkmenistan Tree Planting Day (Autumn) for those who are celebrating. Twice a year, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, a shovel, and his unfeasibly smooth neck photoshopped hovering next to a tree.
