Just seen this Texas TI30 Galaxy on eBay and I'm suddenly back at my comp, being bullied for not having a hideous Casio FX82 like literally everyone else.

No regrets.

"Transformation happens at the speed of trust" is a phrase we say a lot to @publicdigital.bsky.social clients. I thought I'd write an article explaining in more detail what we mean.

Improving trust within clients is one the outcomes we're most proud.

My better half JoAngell.com is showing her paintings and prints at Hornsey Library, N8 this weekend.

They're amazing, although I would say that wouldn't I?

Havengore Bridge, just before @stephendunn.bsky.social and I asserted our ancient navigational rights to persuade the bridge keeper to lift it for our small sailing dinghy.

My parents took us to see Etaples Military Cemetery when I was 10. I don't remember seeing this grave of another, much less fortunate Tom Loosemore. www.cwgc.org/find-records...

Remembering Sergeant Arnold Loosemore VC, died as a result of WW1 wounds in 1924, leaving his widow and child destitute, hence his burial in a shared grave.

Excellent letter from a GP in today's Times. As a patient I'll only benefit from the joining up of my data if all clinicians describe the same things in the same way.

(Joining up the myriad "IT systems" is necessary, but very far from being sufficient.)

My mum died over 30 years ago. Someone very kindly just sent me this, from the comp where she was a teacher for many years.

Proud that artist better half joangell.com is supporting the excellent breast cancer charity Art For Cure with a gorgeous series of paintings. But then I would say that wouldn't I.
Anyway, you can decide for yourselves:

I think the last thing I want DVLA's services to be "exciting"...

(I'm being too snarky - gov.uk/driver-vehicles-account is a good thing)

Oooh, my (much) better half just gave me this book.

Suspect I won't be able to resist devouring it all in one sitting.

I was at this gig, wherein The Railway Children so chose the wrong support act.
