  1. Friends to dinner. Quite brilliant home-made biscotti, and Carluccio's Vin Santo. Both seriously good.
  2. Music for doing housework by? Early Haydn. Pretty cheering & doesn't matter too much if you miss a dozen bars. (Oops, sorry, Franz Joseph!)
  3. Cheeringly fluent lecture starting quantification theory for the first years. Well, *I* enjoyed it ...
  4. The model for one of my fave paintings http://bit.ly/1x1Ud4 was Lucrezia Buti. Kinda odd that Lucrezia Buti is to be found on Facebook ...
  5. #spooks Wow. Didn't see that coming. Preposterous but ludicrously gripping!
  6. Imogen Cooper's D935 no.1 about perfect. Some heartbreaking moments.
  7. I've just put a blast-from-the-past talk on Entailment (with nods to Lewy and Smiley), dashed off for a reading group, on logicmatters.net
  8. Listening to Vol.2 of Imogen Cooper's new Schubert recordings. Right now D 935 Impromptus. Predictably amazing
  9. Time travelling. Preparing talk on Lewy and Smiley on entailment 40/50 years ago. Back to hot topics of the Cambridge when I did tripos.
  10. Rather sad day. The Daughter is off a third of the way round the world, and won't see her for six months. Thank heavens for Skype/iChat.
  11. Pages about my logic book ported to the new http://logicbook.net OK: the daughter is right -- Wordpress is pretty cool.
  12. RT @timcrane: "Stefan Collini on 'impact' -- recommended" http://bit.ly/3N4eqI Warmly recommended indeed.
  13. New Vodafone mobile broadband thingy puts nasty red icon in OS X menu bar. Spend hour finding/decolorizing icon in package. How sad is that?
  14. @jrgwilliams "OUP no longer accepting docs for publication in .tex" Eh? Rationale?? A trend??? [An issue given we encourage LaTeX use.] #tex
  15. RT @philosophybites: Is less more? A.C.Grayling spot on, re contact hours vs autonomy in higher ed. http://tinyurl.com/yhtqosn
  16. Admirably serious response by Evan Harris MP to the egregious Alan Johnson. http://bit.ly/4mHyfE
  17. Another hour's fiddling around with Wordpress widgets & the blog kinda-looks-ok (i.e. like everyone else's)? Trying to resist fancy themes!
  18. Move my blog to Wordpress platform and new address (at least, new for the blog): http://logicmatters.net Relatively painless so far.
  19. Oh dear. I think I foresee getting hooked on nerdy fun with Wordpress. Sad really.
  20. RT @ZoeCorbyn: Enjoying the comments on her story: http://bit.ly/3x2zFK Like "proud to go all the way to eleven on the James Ladyman index"
