The way the day slipped back into sync even though sleep pattern was broken. I have had eight hours good sleep and am quietly working my way through into Thursday!

I saw THIS. It's a technical paper but worth reading, I have always had a healthy respect for confined spaces!

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
I had a surprise the other day when the postman delivered a letter in this envelope shown below. It's about a class action for $1.5 billion. I thought Donald Trump was going to sue me for writing scathing comments about him on this very web forum! Thank goodness I was wrong. It's about a Copyright Class Action of publishers against the company Anthropic for using their published material to train their AI. I received it because we ran our own publishing company for about ten years. However the Action only applies to works with US ASIN copyright; ours were all on ISBN registration and therefore not covered.

Good Peter! Legal matters are always time consuming and seldom worth the effort.

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
See THIS heads up for a meteor shower this weekend.
The Geminid meteor shower - one of the most spectacular in the celestial calendar - is set to peak this weekend and astronomers say conditions could make for an especially striking show if weather permits. The meteors are visible all over the world, though people in the Northern Hemisphere will get the best views. In the UK, if the skies are clear, a waning crescent Moon will only rise after midnight which should mean several hours of dark skies to see the meteors more clearly.

This caught my attention in this months English Woman’s Weekly (Christmas Issue).
.
It reads - On this day in history, 7 December 1983. Never mind Santa being stuck up a chimney- celebrity steeplejack Fred Dinbah’s work was halted by George, a ginger Tomcat who climbed 160 feet up and couldn’t get down again.
The cat’s antics featured on BBC News , with Fred saying Ginger was stuck by ‘glue and fear’.
After two days he was eventually rescued by one of Fred’s fellow steeplejacks.

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
DHL, I ordered some thermal paper rolls for Bosom Friends card readers the other day. Email train from DHL the last couple of days to say they have the parcel and will deliver on Monday. This is fine as there will be someone about all day. Another email this morning that says they will deliver today when we are out! If I check the tracking on that one it still says Monday despite what the email says! To edge my bets I have tried diverting it to the local hub but the tracking website wont save my changes! They normally dump there by default anything that they cant get a signature for so I hope this will be the case.
