Scourge of scoundrels. I work in FE (I like job, so not talking about work here). I used to hike regularly (see old blog http://aktoman.blogspot.com). Too many interests to summarise here.

Joy doesn't wait for permission or perfect timing. It doesn't postpone itself until every wound has healed, until the chaos settles, until the ledger of life balances itself. Instead, joy emerges like wildflowers through concrete — in the spaces we least expect it.

It's Superbowl Sunday! So here's our traditional, and predictable Superb Owl.

#SuperbOwl #SuperbOwl2026
A naive representation of an owl on a small flat slate sheet. The body is depicted in alternating white and dark triangles. Crucially, this owl is not playing American Football.
