I just read this interesting article about the astronauts writing journals in space. The best part is that it’s all for science. Jack Stuster, the researcher involved, is the only one who will read these private journal entries. The idea is to see how space and confinement affects mood.

While at the shops this morning, picking up a couple of last minutes things for my little boy’s second birthday, I came across this delightful book: Beatrix Potter: A Journal.
