'Now look alive:
there will be leaves again,
in the reeling of the sun.
You will bloom
in the land of the poppy.
Under its sky
it will strike you,
deadly and unbidden:
bliss.'

(Revisits skyline) Turns out I wanted to do a DFA which is like a PhD but with the added bonus that no one knows what it is.
do I want to do a PhD or do I want to go on lots of holidays 🤔

The last time I went out in Barrow in Furness was 28 years ago and I probably got blotto and angry. Last night I went to this and watched young and old people celebrate together and it was utterly heartwarming

I am not in Folkestone but maybe you are … actually I don’t know where any of you are really
If you’re near Folkestone tonight and fancy an evening of good music the City Wall Radio DJs return to the architecturally very cool The Clearing bar upstairs at the Quarterhouse https://www.creativefolkestone.org.uk/whats-on/quarterhouse-lates-city-wall-radio-2/

Felt a bit sad so took myself to the rose gardens in Regent’s Park. Now I still feel sad but with the scent of roses 🌹

Good morning or evening skeeps. Does the world need Virgin Galactic doing commercial space flights? Does it?
