There's been a funny haze in the sky for the last few days, but no comment on it on the weather. Sometimes in Cyprus we get a brown haze, which is dust from the Sahara, but this is just overcast.
First news this morning is the Oscars, which are just winding up as we wake up, with best picture announced a shiver ahead of the seven a.m. news. We'll have to go to see Les Miserables, as we did see a bit of the filming near the naval college building in Greenwich one day last spring. In fact had to stay back where we were directed to avoid becoming extras in non-period drama.
Also on BBC radio, Giles Fraser makes an interesting observation. When he was a seminarian he and his fellows in training took the Myers Briggs personality inventory. Before doing so, they were asked to consider what sort of personality Jesus had. Tellingly, there was a high correlation between the seminarians' own personality profiles and the personality characteristics they attributed to Jesus. Extroverts assumed that he was an extrovert while introverts believed him to be an introvert and so forth. An interesting example of individuals creating God in their own images.
