Book cover shows the title Sundae Driver - a story of Dan and Stan with Zelda and the Welder by Jack Barrow. The strap line reads A story in the Hidden Masters Universe. The book has a red background with an inverted purple pentagram in the centre, and a yellow sunburst behind the pentagram. In the centre of the pentagram are two cartoon figures, a blond haired main in the uniform of an ice cream vendor and a shorter, balding man with a waistcoat. On his watch chain is a pentagram, almost imperceptible. The ice cream vendor is turning away from the shorter man and looking over his shoulder. Below the pentagram a cartoon image of an old fashioned taxi chases an ice cream van.

We're watching a programme about badgers. This came to mind from about 20 years ago.

Nice scene in the church. Then juxtaposed with the final scene. Well constructed drama.

I went out today. I wore my big coat for the first time in a long while. It wasn't cold, just a bit chilly. I like my big coat, I'm glad I wore it. And it's got good pockets.

I'm following a few American accounts who clearly love British culture. There's a bloke who has been to Conway then Anglesey and all over Wales. Today he's in Swansea. In that time I've been upstairs and back.

He's made the full transition to being the Oswald Mosley of our time.

I thought it was funny
The idea of Brian and Justin forced to do a bible class was entertaining.

I guess there would be a general contagious effect spreading through general tech organizations but diminishing the further away they are perceived as being from AI.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

A lost art no doubt. I remember dyline prints.

Amber says online you can be whoever you want to be. I'd like to know how that works because I want to be a bestselling author able to live off my writing while being carer for my partner. Scriptwriters, can you get on the case please.

I was just thinking of moving my newsletter to Substack. I'm currently with Mailer Lite and they've just announced they're cutting the free limit in half. Now I'm wondering about moving to ghost. By the time I hit the Mailer Lite limit there'll probably be another flavour of the month.
