Read: Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes ★★★★☆ 📚
Perseus son of Zeus is not too bright, Medusa is an innocent. The Gods self absorbed & fickle. A bit too jokey for me sometimes but the last couple of pages are transforming.
#SilentSunday
I was watching this Golden-ringed Dragonfly as it caught onto a reed which bent under its weight.
Walk up Beinn Chaorach from Glen Fruin yesterday afternoon. Lots of wildflowers & ravens.
School finished for the summer in the pouring rain at 1pm today. By 5 O’clock the sun and a few butterflies were out, including this Meadow Brown. By the Kelvin near the vet school.

chat.openai.com apologizes
Me:
how could I display a list of links using the WordPress opml in the body of a page?
chat.openai.com:
[opml url=”URL_OF_OPML-FILE”]
Replace “URL_OF_OPML_FILE” with the actual URL you copied in the previous step.
For example:[opml url=”http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/links.opml”]
- Save or update the page.
- Preview or visit the page to see the list of links displayed.
WordPress will parse the OPML file and generate the necessary HTML to display the links.
Me:
Are you sure there is an opml shortcode? This didn’t work on my site
chat.openai.com:
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that there is no built-in OPML shortcode in WordPress. I apologize for the incorrect information provided.
What was intriguing was the total confidence for the reply and the immediate apology, did it check to see if I was correct? It then went on to offer a plugin suggestion…
Nice walk yesterday morning. Meadow Sweet starting to come out. 8 Ravens flying above edge of braes. Butterflies: Ringlet, Small heath, Meadow Brown. Lots of folk on the road, Braes quiet, quite wet in long grass.

Read: Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson ★★★★☆ 📚
1920’s London, mad night life, huge cast of unique and surprising characters tangled in a web of crime(s). Very funny, gets so complex there is a lot of tying up of loose ends in the last couple of chapters.
