Some random old fella with a greyhound I met at the garden centre today complemented me on the condition of my R53 Mini of 21 yrs. Simple things make me happy. (Lucy in the pic, no longer around)

We need to talk more about what Ian writes about here. And do more. I’ve deleted my Twitter and FB and Insta accounts. I want to reduce my use of Amazon. I want to use my phone a lot less. And yes, I understand these things are more difficult for some for all sorts of reasons. Not judging.

Came across a YouTube channel I believe(DYOR) is basically stealing Anthony Hopkins (AI) voice and image. I know this sort of thing worries Attenborough too. Where’s the auto-takedown of this stuff?
