Yo brain, if you are going to make me dream about travelling again can you take me to some mountains or some overgrown ruins or something, instead of sending me a stress dream about me hurriedly trying to pack my things and everything going wrong whilst running hopelessly late to get to the airport.

My publisher reached out today to talk about the cover for the next book in this series. Excited!

Does anyone have a favourite out of the covers so far? I think mine is Blood War 🔪🩸

I have planted four of each chilli type in my heated propagator, so let’s see what happens in the next week or so.

I feel like a kid again and possibly a little excited 😂

I have some big south-facing windowsills so I have decided to have a go at growing chillies 🌶️ 🙂

Now do you believe me when I tell you that Cardiff always gets left out of the fun? Look at the state of this!

Yesterday I discovered another negative to calling LLMs ‘AI’; now when I read a sci-fi novel which mentions AI, I have that association and a part of my brain wonders whether they mean a clumsily regurgitative algorithm or, you know… actual AI.

Fellow insomniacs… I have found these new tablets from H&B very useful. It has a new ingredient called DailyZz which is an extract of polyphenols from tea and spearmint. I was a bit sceptical but what convinced me to try it was finding out that it has been clinically studied (with positive results).

Came to Trefignath #neolithic burial #cairn for sunset and also got a nice surprise when the full big moon came out. Magical 🙂

Genuine question: if our railways are being gradually nationalised over the next couple of years surely that means that we should not merely be seeing a freeze in fare prices but a huge drop? Am I missing something here?

Back home and my living room has a new feature. A folklore map of Great Britain 🙂

Today I am visiting friends at The Tuckers Arms in Devon. This is the place where seventeen-year-old me first cut his teeth as a chef some years ago.
