A fool always finds
one still more foolish
to admire him.
Un imbécile trouve
toujours un encore
plus idiot l'admirer

Well, here's a thing. We don't conform and change our clocks so we're still in British Summer time in our house here in the UK. It isn't a problem for us and we live an hour ahead of everyone else, with lighter evenings and darker mornings.
Pud the black and white cat likes it as he doesn't need to adapt either.
People may think we're crazy but... it's our choice!

I posted this yesterday but the conclusions are similar:
From the Economist: "North Korea has been fingered as the prime suspect in the hacking of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange."
Do you think we're living in a house of cards? The combination of a ubiquitous internet, undiscovered vulnerabilities, AI in the 'wrong' hands, disruptive state players, and an unknown risk profile for our major industrial and finance players could lead to a collapse and we'd all pay to put it right, if that's even possible.
Pandora and her box comes to mind.

Pud the black and white cat curled up on the chair by the bistro table after a few day visit from our grandsons (9 & 7 years old) which tired him more than usual. He didn't budge from it all day.

Not only lovely windows, but lovely hanging baskets of flowers too.
Nicht nur schöne Fenster, sondern auch schöne Hängekörbe mit Blumen.

All over the world the OLIGARCHS enrich themselves, corrupt our societies for personal gain and undermine democracy.
It is NOT okay. It ISN'T.

The Promoting Yorkshire Authors Community Group encourages youngsters to read and get involved in non-device craft activities and colouring. Today we did a Halloween event at Knaresborough Library which was wonderfully attended by children, their parents and grandparents. Thanks, as always, to the Library team for their support.

Here in the UK, we're being told to stockpile water and non perishable food items and we're not being told why?
But THEY know.
