Many political journalists can only write about vibes & who, despite being completely ensconced in the gallery brain bubble, believe they know what voters care about.
They are a big reason why media sites never hold an audience even after big news events - their schtick is transparently pointless.

Take a moment to look up at the night sky at least once a week.
It’s a quiet reminder that the universe connects us all, wherever we may be

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: six geese-a-laying, FIVE GOLD RINGS, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Goose, calling bird, hen, dove, partridge and pear omelette. Yum.

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

Babies receive a Hepatitis B vaccine at birth because a mom can transmit the virus through childbirth. Not good. There are no negative consequences for the baby in receiving the vaccine.
