Another gloomy day

It's gotten so dark I've had to switch the room lights on to be able to read the paper. Again no sign of rain though.

The weather app on my computer is telling me it's currently sunny in Guildford.

Roy Dotrice

Obituary in The Guardian for Roy Dotrice:

https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/oct/16/roy-dotrice-obituary

I was surprised it doesn't mention his long-running appearance alongside Alastair Sim as Albert Haddock in the BBC sitcom Misleading Cases, based on the A.P Herbert books. That was one of the highlights of my teens.

It doesn't mention his appearance in Angel, either.

Cape Canaveral

I'm reading a history of the War of 1812 at the moment, by Jon Latimer, published in 2007. At one point he refers to a naval encounter that took place "off Cape Canaveral (now Cape Kennedy)."

Except that its name was changed back in 1973. I suppose that saying a historian is living in the past is a bit of a cheap shot.
