@phoneboy I hope you get good neighbours.
@hazardwarning It was on PBS America via Freesat. I don’t think it’s currently available anywhere. I had a look but couldn’t find it.

I’m watching a long documentary about the life of Benjamin Franklin. It includes a lot of details about relations between London and the colonies. English troops being sent to quell the uprising in Boston; Franklin representing several colonies in London but having to endure an hour long berating in Whitehall, after which he decides to be completely American. And coincidentally, in parallel, I just discovered that the new American embassy in London has a defensive ditch, a moat and a barracks for soldiers. It’s strange how the World turns.
Bloody hell. I’ve never heard such a loud, screeching racket in the dark of night before as I’m hearing now. Huge caterwauling. Are they humping or are they arguing?
