• 22:12 Hurrah, internet at home fixed! Now I can listen to HMS Surprise, which has suddenly converted Mum to Patrick O'Brian. #
• 22:31 Grr, pt 1 has gone :( ... Mum did the same thing with LotR and the films. Then she read the books and complained about the changes #
• 22:38 Also, I am a bit in love with the voice of Radio 4! Jack Aubrey. Stephen's not bad, either, though not quite what I would have imagined. #
• 00:48 Incidentally: best line of the Lollard seminar - "Wyclife's theology - an accident waiting to happen." Must sleep now... #
• 00:57 New Brideshead film has odd attitude to women. Villain not so much God as BVM? Cf statue. Catholics bad (frigid) mothers bullying weak men. #
• 08:57 Why has the MCR acquired a competent but dull 'artistic' female nude? It looks odd among the bishops..... #
• 09:59 You know you've seen too much Doctor Who when you're scared by a poster for choral Eucharist (with photo of angel statue...) #
• 10:30 Though on the whole the photo of McCain chasing Obama with his tongue hanging out posted at Making Light is scarier. Seriously, wtf? #
• 10:54 Is it normal to be vaguely nauseated by the thought of rereading a draft chapter you wrote months ago? #
• 11:15 Today is commemoration of Oxford Martyrs, Ridley and Latimer. Can't find the 1066 quote about them testing a new candle in the martyrs' mem #
• 11:20 Always think of that when I see the MM. (Or 'Am I late for Mass?' Not sure what R&L would have liked less). Am warped Spike. Blame Oriel. #
• 14:04 Should one cite the Pope (in his capacity as a theologian) as Ratzinger J, or Benedict? #
• 14:35 Oh dear, it really shouldn't take several hours to print one lousy PDF. Why do these things always go wrong when you have a deadline? #
• 15:12 @GMWWemyss - from the fury of the Northmen (be they from Reykjavik or Kirkaldy), Good Lord defend us? #
• 15:36 Since yesterday's talk on Lollards, i have a terrible urge to make a Lolcat with a picture of the Host, captioned 'invisible substance'. #
• 16:07 'Cocorodrillen' for 'crocodiles' is the best spelling ever. #
• 16:21 @ParrotKnight Early nineties. My instinct would be to use Ratzinger except for encyclicals, but OLIS seems to prefer Benedict generally. #
• 17:06 @ParrotKnight Thanks! #
• 17:07 Yawn. Time to put away the German and go and check people know what to do with a thurible. #

Aw, shame. The Ladybird Book of British History lied to me!
