PreResolutions of 2026
If you are anything like me, you probably spend every New Year's Eve toasting the future year, dreaming of all the possibilities, contemplating all the things you will accomplish in the coming year. You pad your New Year’s Resolutions, giddy at the thought of all the glorious success you will have.

How to Make Train Travel in Europe Work for Remote Life
There is something almost poetic about opening your laptop in a train as it glides through Europe, the world passing like a movie outside your window. One moment you are in Germany, the next you are crossing into Belgium, without ever needing to take off your shoes or stand in a line behind a security belt. The gentle rocking, the low hum of conversation, and the flash of vineyards, villages, and rivers passing by have a way of making work feel softer, less rigid.

The Voice Refined Through Another Medium
For centuries, words have been the vessels of human thought, the means by which understanding passes from one heart to another. From quills and typewriters to keyboards and screens, the tools have changed, but the mind behind the message has not. Now, in the age of artificial intelligence, some claim that words refined through its assistance cannot be fully human. They say that if an essay or reflection has been shaped, polished, or expanded by an AI tool, then its authenticity is somehow diminished. Yet that belief mistakes process for purpose. The truth of writing does not depend on how the words are arranged, but on who the words come from.

The Hands That Don’t Forget
I am writing this story because the UK Government and care industry are now seriously exploring robots in social care. With more than 130,000 vacancies across adult care, the government believes technology and automation could be one of the solutions. Robot assistants are being tested to help at home — lifting, feeding, reminding about medicine, and offering night-time support. This sounds exciting, modern and efficient, But are we forgetting what care truly means?

No More National Novel Writing Month. Top Story - November 2025.
For many years now, in November, I would write 50,000 plus words for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Each day, I would write. It wasn't important to edit as I wrote, because I knew in a month or two it would be time to edit.
