Sophia Chang does an excellent job explaining why style matters as we age.

So, I have a sore face, bruised cheek, and aching gums and a cavernous hole in my gum.

It's all very weird. And sore.
Just arrived at the dentist to have a tooth pulled. A molar.

I hope your Saturday is somewhat better than mine.

I’m looking for people to participate in a book exchange. All you have to do is buy your favorite book and send it to a stranger, even easier to Amazon it to them! You’ll receive a maximum of 36 books back to you, to keep.
If you’re interested in taking part, reply to this with "I'm in!”

I decided we'd finish off the Christmas cake, but the slices I've given us are gargantuan, even by my standards.

I've been assigned a trainee teacher. I make it all up as I go along, and here I am training someone. It's all very odd.

I'm observing her teaching 3 of my lessons tomorrow, poor love.

Present me has made dinner for tomorrow, knowing that future me will be glad that past me made the effort.

Anyway, back to work tomorrow.

I have returned from the Wales. It was a long but uneventful journey.

I only screamed, "Oh my god, there's no end!" Once, and that was on the A42 in the dark.

I am in that Wales. Just for one night, faffing about with the offspring as her and her mates have decided to blow off halls and rent a cottage together.

Welcome to 2026. I beseech you, to create.

Play music, write poetry, write prose, carve, knit, crochet, draw, paint, build, assemble, doodle, sew, turn, weld, machine, design, video, photograph, throw some pots.

Add to the universe something that did not exist, but now does, because of you.
