Day 775, W minus 4


Not a cloud in the sky.

Beautiful, clear blue.

When Aristophanes had a middle aged Athenian persuade the birds of the world to create a new city in the sky, in his drama The Birds, he probably didn't foresee how pertinent it would be a couple of millennia later.

The new city in the sky was intended to gain control over all communications between 'men and gods'.

A little bit like out-hosting of our communications and services to 'the cloud' now, and with the added relevance of the newly passed, by both the Houses of Parliament and Lords, and with the assent of The Queen, Investigatory Powers Act 2016.

Not a cloud in the sky, but there are probably storms coming.

But the bigger question is, where the bloody hell has my middle aged hair gone?
