It's been a few days since I last posted. Harry has been poorly with a disc problem in his neck and also, most recently with colitis. He has meds and is slowly making progess. A photo from yesterday, showing him in good spirits after a small portion of his favourite food. My brave little warrior.

Been using ChatGTP Plus to generate some art work for my short stories. This one is for "Timebends" set in the 1940s. Perfect for #VE Day.

Once my new podcast studio is ready to go, I'm hoping to relaunch my feel good show, 'The Wonderful Us' podcast. There are still 90 episodes of 'The Independent Teacher' podcast available for download- it remains very popular in terms of downloads. Enjoy.
