Observations on the world and its inhabitants
It’s Friday the 13th 2026. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. The universe has a sense of humour. And start practising this tongue-twister: paraskevidekatriaphobia. Think about it. The calendar gods arranged for the most “unlucky” day of the year to land squarely before the most romantic. That’s not coincidence. That’s comedy. Somewhere right now, a bloke is ...
The meeting was initiated by a brief, precise text from Tarek to both Walker and Elara, devoid of social warmth but heavy with implication. He often used the language of his personal journal for these invitations. The WhatsApp message read: “New data point concerning affection. Requires immediate systems analysis before the metaphor stabilises into sentiment. ...
Tarek’s WhatsApp message to Elara and Walker was concise: “2050. The Maxwell scene. This Friday? Gilded Spoon? 17:45PM” The replies came swiftly. Elara’s response: “Intriguing. I’ll be there!”. Walker’s, predictably, was more verbose: “The philosophical crux of the matter. The very soul of the thing. I’m in. Recalling our last enlightening conversation. I’ll be there.” ...
The call was brief—deliberately so. Tarek rang Elara around five thirty. His tone was clipped, almost procedural. He mentioned that he had a conversation with Walker about ‘this’.

The Northampton morning sun, filtered through the huge canopy on Captain Walker’s massive porch, cast a warm, almost reverent glow over the breakfast table.

Every detail was curated: the crisp white linen, the glint of polished silver, the ...

This blog and video cannot cover every different kind of love, nor ...
At this post Word are cheap in October 2021, I was meant to explore ‘What is love?‘ Of course, I got distracted by so many things along the way. But tonight the question suddenly hit me, when I accidentally came across a discussion on YouTube. Well, I’ll leave that video for lower down this post. ...
Yes words are cheap. It don’t cost much to say, “I care” or “I’m sorry” or “I love you“. You don’t have to pay to say these sorts of things. It is totally free! And somebody is gonna say ‘obviously’. Well, tough! I’ll say the obvious. I was going to write this blog as ‘What ...

If you’re expecting or looking for thoughts on loving cats or the love of cats, kindly depart now. I’ve been thinking about my cat and his relationship to me (and vice versa – if you please), over the last several weeks. This has led me to think about how humans interact and their relationships.
