Looking at the Charlie Kirk situation, it feels to me that if one lives by the fetishisation of the sword then one shouldn’t be surprised if some lunatic eventually comes at you and you die by that sword.

Perhaps it’s time to curtail those swords?

That's it for 2023. Cleared my work 'in-tray', sorted out all the unread emails, tidied up my issues list, and cleared off all outstanding tasks. Clean slate. Bye bye work until 2024!

My Irish Setter baby. She’s just had an operation to remove a foreign body from her intestine and she’s recovering well. Appetite back with a vengeance. Love my little girlie.
