Creativity is human. Gen AI can't enjoy creating or consuming the arts. It has no place stealing from those of us who need to create for an income, for our passion, for our sanity.

Change is in the air. The chilly air.
The clocks fell back, the month marches on.
Packing boxes fill every room, half full of memories.
Poems are tumbling leaves that defy my numb fingertips.

For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type.
By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

Rodney supervised my packing with an iron paw because he objects to all trips.
I’m not saying he’s smug but.. my plans changed abruptly. I stretched a mm too far and my inflamed facet joint flared (yes, I swore, loudly).

Thank you to the wonderful team at ELATT for inviting me to speak at the IWM Duxford. The students were a delight and it lifts my heart to know that young people are keeping alive the interest in WW2 and the people who sacrificed so much for us.

There is a spider of such epic proportions hanging out in the hallway that I’ve requested it is assigned its own postcode.
Until I am able to muster the courage to leap over the top of it, I will be drinking the dregs of my cold tea and quizzing Rodney on his failure to protect me from arachnids.
