Who knows – this could well be one of those paradigm-shifting days. Shall we all start looking for a rock to hide under, or have you already made other plans?

Quote of the Day:

Part of me lives in a world of new age remedies and science. And some of the science is a little like voodoo — but science was never an exact science. And personally I’d eat the arse out of a dead mole if it offered a fighting chance.

I intend to scream and harangue while there is time. I am, along with many others, scrabbling to stay ahead long enough to be there when the Cure comes along. There’s nearly as many of us as there are cancer sufferers, and it looks as if the number of people with dementia will double within a generation. It is a shock to find out that funding for Alzheimer’s research is just three percent of that to find cancer cures.

Author Terry Pratchett, on pledging $1million (£500,000) to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust.
