The bleak midwinter

A state of lethargy settled in the office today. I don't think it actually got light in London today because of the day's heavy rain, which engendered a feeling of misery amongst us. And I thought it was just me thinking "I'm shattered" all day. I also fear a cold is on it's way again, if I ever got rid of the last one (so much for vitamin C). I had great plans to crack on with some writing this evening but that's not going to happen. Early night with a book instead as later in the week, there's not one but three Christmas parties to get through.

Anyway, today I RSS'ed the Channel 4 Newsblog. Jon Snow's entries are rather good, then again he's a journalist I've always liked. There's the occasional "filler" posting by a non-entity called "Newsroom blogger", which is probably a collective identity for the duty editors or seomthing, but the named journalist entries are rather fine, and I get the impression that they are a lot less staged than the BBC ones.

Finally, Russia Today really has to sort out the scrolling text on Sky 182. The bottom's still missing and it's starting to annoy me.
