Today's World, Yesterday

Still struggling with a constrictive work schedule here, and with weekend trips to Antwerp, Prague and London out of the way, another to Manchester looms at the end of the week. Quite apart from the obstacles all this places on producing this 'ere tabloid guff - which, for someone who regards recreational writing as a relaxant, can be irritating - it's bloody knackering.

Tonight is no different, with a business-related meal lined up. Sounds cushy, but best behaviour stuff, so quite the opposite of calming.

I've a couple of ideas in blogger's draft tray, but when they get round to be written is anyone's guess. Here's something interesting spotted today during a brief downtime, though, in a curious yet uncanny kind of way (click to enlarge pic).


It's from this 1979 book and is impressively accurate apart, maybe, for the robot. Oh, and the idea that the consumption of drinks in the home would be as natural to the comprehensively health-terrified 21st century citizen as it was to the more relaxed 70s version, of course.
