We started watching Riot Women tonight, which appealed to Mrs Astro but not me. I just couldn't get over the central conceit that middle aged women forming a rock band was radical in 2025.

The Anchoress at Union Chapel last night, with Roxanne de Bastion on supporting vocals.

She really is phenomenal.

Excellent gig at Cadogan Hall last night. Enji was first with her soft Mongolian jazz, followed by Les Égarés with their jazz - north African - gipsy - folk melange.

Beta Band at Camden Roundhouse. Bonkers psychedelia. What I loved most was how they kept putting their instruments down so they could all wig out on percussion.

My WIP is a 3-generation saga, stretching over 50 years of a single family. I'm probably 4 months off finishing the first draft and already over 120,000 words. Starting to wonder if the final version might need to be 3 separate novellas.

Reminder that AI will return an answer that suits your question.

For these, I used the phrase "are spiders repelled by cinnamon" and added "scientific evidence" to the second query. Amazingly different results. AI is a crowd pleaser, isn't it?
