Good heavens, I didn't know this fabulous video is on YouTube. It's lovely to see my friends and neighbours Brian and Wendy Froud when they were still so very young! I've spent the last year helping them with a new book (we're not allowed to reveal the subject yet), which will be out in autumn 2026.

Love the jacket. And the glass frames.

Squeezed in between larger books on my bookshelf I discovered a slender Ross Macdonald paperback last night, The Goodbye Look. A gift to myself from the past, tucked away for a time I needed an absorbing Lew Archer mystery? Even better, I've never read it! Grateful. 📚 #mystery

Oh, I hope not, but I know he'll receive the best care and love if it is. Doing metta for both of you.

I hope it's easily controlled, or even cured! Poor sweet Wallace.

Candace Robb @candacerobbauthor.bsky.social · 3d

"Overall, the pessimists broadly agree: it’s no longer a matter of if AI is massively overhyped, but when the whole thing comes crashing down." And it seems as if most, if not quite all data center managers are "pessimists".

Long ago the Dalai Lama visited Seattle and told our then female gov'r that women were the hope for the future, women at the top of gov'ts, and that perhaps it was time for the Dalai Lama to return as a woman.

Nice enough intro to the strange Brit love of the shipping forecast, but it fails to mention Carol Ann Duffy’s wonderful poem. (PS ‘Finisterre is the old name for the area now called FitzRoy in the forecast.)

Prayer

Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer
utters itself. So, a woman will lift
her head from the sieve of her hands and stare
at the minims sung by a tree, a sudden gift.

Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth
enters our hearts, that small familiar pain;
then a man will stand stock-still, hearing his youth
in the distant Latin chanting of a train.

Pray for us now. Grade 1 piano scales
console the lodger looking out across
a Midlands town. Then dusk, and someone calls
a child's name as though they named their loss.

Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer -
Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.

Carol Ann Duffy

Autumn color begins!

A burst of autumn gold against a gray sky along a trail lined by otherwise still green trees.
