Paper probably mostly finished, but I'm not trying to time it now (45 minutes is a big chunk of time!) Not very good, as yet,but it's only a first draft.

Surreal moment of the day: being invited to a one-man performance of Samson Agonistes to celebrate the anniversary of Milton's birth - in St Mary Magdalene's, Oxford. Under the beneficent painted eyes of two statues of Our Lady and a portrait of Charles the First.

I do hope that Milton has acquired a sense of humour in the intervening centuries.

I see that the actor concerned was in Remembrance of the Daleks as Embery, whom I think was one of the soldiers in the first episode.

I am agreed that it's a very unusual place to celebrate Milton; and an appropriate occasion for this icon to be wheeled out...

...and well done on the paper.

Milton, thou shouldst be living at this hour?

It's probably as well that he isn't: he'd just have an apoplectic fit!
