Read Golden Child by Claire Adam ★★★★★ 📚
Engrossing & troubling story. Set in Trinidad, with a strong flavour of place & family. Twins, one very bright, the other, Paul, “slightly retarded”. Told from several view points, Paul’s was particularly strong. Father Clyde values both children in different ways loving & being embarrassed by Paul.
I’m finding that the simpler approach of FSE and the block editor is better. It may have had a bad start, but it has noticeably improved over the last few years. It may never please folks who will only use the “classic” editor. I understand. I’m going to be VERY conscious of those folks as I advocate for the “new” WordPress in the days to come. My hope is to demonstrate why it’s better in coming posts
I am looking forward to seeing these posts pop up in my reader.

The name Really Simple Syndication is supposed to make you smile, while most techie formats make you want to pull your hair out. RSS reads pretty well even if you know nothing about feeds and XML. I wish the browser people hadn’t insisted on masking it with ugly CSS style sheets. I like lifting the hood of a car to see what’s there even though I don’t know what many of the things in there do. I learn by doing it
RSS continues to make me smile, thanks Dave.
Read: One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson ★★★★☆📚
I think the author was trying to see how many seeming unrelated treads she could tie up. Good fun, subtitled A Jolly Murder Mystery, set in Edinburgh during the festival.
