Another way of looking at it might be; without AI, Sandra's report was so long it needed a summary, and didn't address information that Bill might have needed; Jane didn't bother reading the report so needed Bill as a middleman just to put it into a different format. Both cases are stupid.

Incredible albino just arrived outside my house. I think a sparrow? I was in the middle of sponsoring a neighbour for charity and had to ask him to take his clipboard back while I rushed to grab my phone! #birding #birbs #birds #rspb #bbcspringwatch @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

If you ignore all the news, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Personally, I see enough people pointing out the negatives and trade-offs that I don't think my contribution to that end is useful. But there are many dangers, and people do highlight them.

Just before Christmas I went to Forest Farm nature reserve in Cardiff, managing to see these two stunning creatures. I cannot imagine a future of mine in which seeing a kingfisher is not a delight. Will be searching again in Rickmansworth in the next couple of months.

Kingfisher. Endlessly fascinated by their habits, habitats and elusiveness. Their colours are like no other bird in the country. I go looking for them. It is an absolute thrill every time I see one and an even bigger thrill when I catch a good shot of one.

Mine aren't old enough yet. But I look forward with great anticipation to the day they understand the Christmas jumper I am wearing as I type.

#viewfromtheplatform. I got up early this morning for no reason other than I woke up early. Only when I got to the station did I remember I have a parents' evening today and I'll be at school for the next 12 hours.

I used to post commute pictures. Not daily, but sometimes. Here is today's. It's a beautiful view from the platform; days when the mist hangs over the park or there's frost on the grass are fantastic. I think there are far worse places to commute from. I hope yours today is quick and painless.

I have a booklet to go with this, with information and questions. Let me know who to send it to if you want it! I stupidly didn't save the source document but our branding is only on the front page... sub in a new one for your school(s)
