Jamal à Becket on Thanksgiving CCTV


Is it me, or does the Khashoggi affair bear all the hallmarks of Henry II and Thomas à Becket? "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"


Received the other two solar powered, Wi-Fi, CCTV cameras this week. I'd forgotten how to link them to the App and spent an entire evening trying to connect them - with eventual success. They all work a treat.

Seen so many adverts, especially from restaurants, advertising Thanksgiving events. They have transformed into sending presents or treating special friends to a dinner out in thanks for something they've done. What with Halloween and Black Friday (which is a scam of the proportions of Brexit), the UK is fast becoming the 51st state of America and it's all being driven by commerce. I want nothing to do with it.

We're off to the Peak District for a mini-AirBnB break today, leaving the boys in charge of the house, so it will be a good chance to test them - the CCTV cameras, that is, not the boys - but logically it's both.
