Instant noodle writing.
I currently use WordPress for hosting this blog and writing my posts. They have recently (unavoidably) introduced a suite of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help creatives optimise their content.

Another day, another abandoned building.

Giving autumn and building benches
Chalk up yet another perfect Canberra morning in the Autumn that just keeps on giving. A morning walk by the lake. A wake of golden-red foliage. The RSPCA was running their ‘million paws walk’, and we turned up late to catch the stragglers and sleepers-in. Juno immediately slotted in for bit of pack weaving, butt…
