Colour supplement miscellanea:

• Splitting a stone with experience and guile.
• Rather beautiful pictures of the refugee trade from NYT.
• Reader Conrad commented about the absurdity of only allowing [trained] Ladder Operatives to use them in the workplace. But ladders can be dangerous if used insanely.
• Had much hilarity Friday evening watch Downfall  the Girton Version [vs genuine]

Very late night last night, but got up at 7 am as normal to serve My Reading Public aka Mon public à lire [lot of traffic from France this past month] only to find that it is 0600hrs. The arbitrary diktat of government had shifted the clocks by an hour.
