OK, its the Windows 15/01/26 update. To uninstall a Windows update, go to Start > Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates, then find and select the problematic update from the list and click Uninstall, which may require a restart to complete.

Has anyone else been getting Error code 2 on #Adobe InDesign files in the last couple of days? Possible issue with Windows 11? I'm hoping this has fixed the issue. helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-...

Very pleased to have my poem 'nostalgia' in the new issue of Viridine Literary. (Contains references to Fawlty Towers and a very rude word.)

A #poem I contributed to this most recent Chaos Section #Poetry Project #chapbook, and another that my daughter contributed. I try to hold onto these moments when the world gets too heavy (as it often does).

Isabelle's poem is found directly after mine in the anthology, and it warms me to see 💗💖🫶

I loved Now, We Must Gather from your email today! Excellent work Samantha.

this wee small
existence, before the end
decides to gather
us in, and take us up, down,
around

to our fated places in eternity. This small
life becomes vast in the end
