1. I need help. Yes yes, you all knew that. But I mean research-wise. Where on EARTH can I find historical medical information? I’m trying to find medical opinion on amnesia in 1860. What I’ve got so far is a battleground doctor who other than “he’s banged his temporal fossa and has lost his memory” (give that man a Nobel Prize) he’s not going any further – however my protag is now travelling to Berlin and there will be learned doctors there on the “cutting edge” of the field – however I’ve been Googling all day it seems and I can’t find anything useful. Not even whether temporal fossa is not etymologically anachronistic .  All I know is that “amnesia” is correct.

Anyone have any bookmarks that could help?

2. I hate that Masterchef call the women “mother of three” as if that defines them-even when they have jobs.

3. God Graham Norton looks a bit over botox-ed!  scary!

4. I have a real phobia about opening champagne/cava bottles.  I really have.  Nothing awful has ever happened to me, but I really hate the idea of the cork flying out and taking a finger with it. I have to wrap the wire and the cork in a towel—I’m such a wuss.  And yes, I’m celebrating at last for the good news of last week.

5. Thanks to Naomi Woods for this – don’t often like American Chat Show humour and I have no idea who this guy is, but it’s worth watching for the guest stars. The Handsome Men’s Club
