'Official papers are too long and too diffuse. In 1940 I called for brevity. Evidently I must do so again. I ask my colleagues to read what I wrote then (it is reproduced overleaf) and to make my wishes known to their staffs.' – W. S. Churchill, 1951

New year, new soap! Bought from same shop in Montmartre as holder in 2024.
I travelled to Paris and on to Frankfurt in December by coach. Coach travel’s a top enviro-friendly option, and costs a lot less than Eurostar.
But trains esp electric are much lower-carbon than plane or car travel as well.

Purrfect! What nice pusscats! Hazel has started to do that when the blinds are down. She loves keeping watch over goings on (even if to the human eye nothing appears to be happening).

Happiness is a cat who at last begins to independently use the cat flap you installed for them. It has taken a lot of treats, adjustments, and encouragement.

This week’s bake is a peach, walnut and ginger tart! It’s giving Autumnal “vibes”. I’ve just had a slice and it’s a good combination, the walnuts lightly toast in the oven…🍁

So much to unpack here! For starters…
1. I’d guess this is to limit how much the cat is fed not check it doesn’t starve. Or he’s a new to cats person.
2. Exciting (for me lol) to see physical radio buttons.
3. Yes, that is a good insight on systems and their effectiveness.

For comparison, many university websites did not do the hard work to corral and rationalise their estate into one domain run on standards. I’ve worked on Uni of Cambridge web universe a couple of times and there are 1000s on .cam even before counting satellite, linked sites.
