I must confess I'm not as up to date with modern films and TV as I should perhaps have been. A remarkable and impressive life and pursuits so far. I hadn't come across marine cloud engineering directly but reading this - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/marine-cloud-brightening - helped a lot .... part of the wider area of geoengineering. Quite fascinating ..... though more prosaically the micropore nozzles put me in mind of (northern) beer sparklers, though there the pores or holes are significantly larger, and produce degrees of creamy heads rather than fine, micro-droplets.

Thank you for your comment, Dominic. I will make sure Orla sees it (especially the bit about beer).

Hi Joshi. Thank you. I am. But mostly I'm pleased for her because she's really earned it. Hoping the show is liked and well-received. I've only seen bits of the script, but the cast is excellent. And as for the clothes...

And previewing well in, 'natch, the Tatler https://www.tatler.com/gallery/the-scintillating-histories-of-the-mitford-sisters-as-outrageous-begins-filming - albeit with some msprunts - or is it AI? (e.g. , it's Lord Stanley of Alderley, not Aldernay) the character sketches of the sisters helps fill out the individuals.

There's been quite a lot of coverage both here and in the States. More to come, I'm sure.
