Writing Kansas this morning and using Chat GPT which I am using as a fast way of understanding the geography, and history of Kansas, then known as an Unorganized Territory, in the early 1820s. Now that I am a --ahem-- mature man, whose own life and recollections span the 20th and 21st centuries, the nineteenth century seems quite close. 

Then I went to hang out with Pat, while Lorraine took Maureen for a blood test. Chatting with him, making him a cup of tea and laughing at an estate agent's haircut on some long running daytime TV show featuring  property developers buying down at heel properties and doing them up and selling them at a profit.

Home again, and then Delores sent me some of the work she had been doing, on which I offered  comments and tweaks, which took a while and was an unpleasant return to copywriting. Then off for a longish walk to shake it all off.

A pleasant evening in the Boot with today's cast of Adele and Patrick, Helen and Andy, and Andy. Talking lots about Patrick's appearance on Seahaven FM last night. All very cheery with people talking as a group.

The pub emptied out just as we left, as it was the final of Traitors, which seems to have gripped the nation. People are talking to each other about the show, in the way people did about television when there was just ITV and BBC. Lorraine and I went home and watched it too. In the dark nights of January, you can be forgiven for watching TV all the time, I think.
