Can you imagine Joyce trying to write a sentence in WordPress.He’d have thrown his computer across the room.
The rhythm of language he devised would be ruined by the orange and blue lines and corrections indicating the errors in grammar or spelling.
If he’d have turned on the AI corrections for a laugh he would have been rolling around the floor in hysterics at the ridiculousness of the suggestions.
“Too many words!” It would say….

Namaste

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
What is the difference between paid for advice and free advice and which one is best?
We are a world where advice through multiple channels is available from what seasonal plants to grow in your garden,to how to build a safe submarine,or indeed who to vote for.
Advice can be listened to or ignored, we have a choice ;I hope.Or are the advice algorithms eliminating that choice?
Let’s face it every loud mouthed nincompoop wants you to listen to them.
So ,with the current situation,I still go back to the best advice I was ever given which has come in handy multiple times throughout my life and that was to memorise my N.I. number.

Whatever you do,never click on a link embedded in a comment or one that appears unfamiliar and is not from a known source.
I am puzzled as to what WordPress have put in place to stop this intrusion.Perhaps someone could let me know.
In the meantime my motto is.
“Don’t Click On The Link”

What things give you energy?
I can really recommend bananas for energy.An amazingly well packaged fruit,with a delicious sweetness when ripe and a great capacity for storage through transportation from far off places,the closest to us being the Canary Islands just off the coast of Spain.
Bananas!

What’s your all-time favorite album?
Ahhh…did you mean music?There are too many so I will plump for this album put together by him indoors containing wonderful photos of his trip to Africa.

Which includes the big Five and lots of beautiful scenic pictures.
Which topics would you like to be more informed about?
I would like to be informed about misinformation.
In reality I would like a divining rod which would flip irritably when it comes across any form of misinformation.
Turtles know about these things.

What would your life be like without music?
Modern obsession is not with Music but with those that create it.We are fans,we want to know what influences lead to the creation of such wonderful pieces.The love,the trauma and the inspiration.
Why did Bill Hailey want to Rock around The Clock and why did the Eagles take it anything but easy.
Memorabilia and Biography are complete industries in themselves,for all sorts of musical artists from Chopin to Taylor Swift
However,the Music, the notes,the best,the arrangement is what it is all about and a mathematical analysis and indeed copyright law will tell you that there is a finite resource of music.There are only so many notes and beats.
However,if we just look at the music,the joining together of notes, we find it everywhere, bird song, a whistling kettle,a busker playing in the street, choirs singing in Church and Bell Ringers at a Wedding.
My favourite songs on the radio, and on my various listening devices I use ,can reduce my overthinking and boredom,along with the opportunity to move with a beat while prancing around the house performing the role of a domestic goddess.Thatbis invaluable to me.
Increasingly ,artists see performing live as being an integral and lucrative part of their repertoire.In truth, I love recordings,but if the artist on the day can match or better the quality of the recording,then that is a wonderful achievement and to be part of a cohesive group enjoying it is even better.
So life without music,,nor indeed musicians,be they human or from natural phenomenon would I think be impossible The birds will still tweet,no matter what
