My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Yesterday hundreds of thousands of us fruitlessly queued for hours for Bayeux Tapestry tickets at British Museum. Followed by masses of websites going down worldwide because of a cybersecurity issue. I feel a story coming on about how the Bayeux Tapestry queue broke the internet. (Yes, I'm joking!)

I got in the online queue for Bayeux Tapestry tickets, more of which are being released today, half an hour before the sales opened. I am - wait for it - number 51,706 in the queue! I wonder how many tickets are being released...

Well, with cost of getting to London from the North of England (train operators think we should pay twice as much to travel to London as people from similar distances in the south) and accommodation if I stayed over - it might be just about as cheap to go to Bayeux in 2027 when tapestry is back home

The 13-hour wait is of course based on the supposition that they have actually processed 2496 orders in 40 minutes. However, there is no doubt attrition because some people simply despaired early and have left the queue. How many will stick it out for the next 13 hours????
