Meanwhile I was perusing the latest issue of Smartlife magazine in case there is some new gizmo that I never knew I needed but couldn't possibly live without. And here it is......
It's called the Meteoris and is made by Swiss watchmaker Louis Moinet. Put simply it's an electro-mechanical planetarium mounted on a metre-high plinth which also houses four tourbillon watches. Now if that doesn't sound expensive enough already, the watches and the planets are coated in dust and powder from Lunar, Martian and other meteorites that have found their way to Earth over the years. And the price for this completely insane statement of opulence? $4.7 million.Bonkers!

I wish I could say that we've got a spare one of these in a cupboard, here at Jodrell...
...but I can't.
Even so, have a splendid Birthday.
Oh well, perhaps it will turn up on ebay one day.
Slightly off topic, but...
Judie Tzuke was one of the guests on "Midweek" (BBC Radio 4) on Wednesday 21st April.
If you didn't catch it already, it'll be on iPlayer until 28th April.
Judie's PR machine is in full swing this week; she's popped up on numerous radio programmes in the past few days. It always annoys me how poorly the presenters have researched the subject - on BBC Radio Devon this week, Judi Spears introduced the interview by referring to her 30-year old hit as "Stay With Me Till Morning".
Still, the new album has made the top 100 at Amazon (64 at one stage yesterday), so the exposure is obviously working.
