Sorry you didn’t get my little joke. But that’s academics for you.
Anyway in the last two weeks of using AI I have bought this….see photo and downloaded the essays of David Hume. I don’t feel too insulted by the tool.

I can see this little island out of my window, but not pick out any detail. Sitting in the Forth.
King James Vl stranded an old woman who was dumb and 2 babies there in an experiment to prove that speech was inherent, not learned. Of course the outcome was grunting and the poor kids died young.

This is about 150 meters from where we live. The new naval vessel is atop a barge. At 11am today it is to be launched into the Forth River. I am at an osteopath appointment at 9:45, I hope to be there in time.

Palmyra a few months before the peaceful protests which evolved into civil war. Parts of the site have been destroyed. The people were generous and welcoming. I hope life is improving for them.

This garden surrounds a Lutyens designed house, now a hotel, near North Berwick in Scotland. It was laid out by Gertrude Jekyll and her concept has been substantially retained.
