I am not in the habit of waking up at 06:00, for I am not a "morning person". This particular morning, however, saw me awake at that hour, though for a minute I wasn't quite sure if I was awake or not. For listening to the Today programme on Radio 4, I was first greeted with the news of the Cutty Sark being on fire, and then treated to some fine financial considerations by a man called Ewan Sterling.

If the first piece of news was unsettling, the second indicated that someone or something somewhere is pulling the strings to ensure appropriateness where it would be appreciated. Indeed, it felt so appropriate it felt as though it had been as if in a dream.
