Dusty dusk

A most curious day Schaffanatics... Tomasz was due on today, but did not materialise on the BBC airwaves. However a Tweet posted by the good man himself, informs us: "Had a real fun and good photoshoot today! :-D".

I suspect it may be for Attitude, since Dr Christian {i} was tweeting about a photoshoot he did with said magazine yesterday ("not wearing many clothes"). Could be for Cosmo, on their regular Everyman shoots {iii}. Or perhaps the rumoured calendar (if that's an in-joke, I have a feeling it will become a self-fulfilling prophesy!)

Of course the big news today is not the barely distinguishable (or distinguished) party leaders tentatively toughing it out on the telly tonight; but of volcanic ash ejected from Eyjafjallajokull {ii}. The dust, currently drifting 20,000ft in the atmosphere, ought to produce a dramatic sunset and/or sunrise over the coming hours-- the 'cinematic effect'.

A delve into the archives: Tomasz getting a tickly cough on last year's vernal equinox. He needs something soothing to swallow, poor luv
