Can I ask your opinion on something important to me that I don’t want to get wrong? I am considering getting a rescue kitten, or perhaps 2 to keep each other company, but if I do she/they would have to be indoor cats for their whole lives. My flat’s quite big. Fair or unfair?

I finally moved into my new flat in Glasgow. And r-e-l-a-x That’s me retired aged 56. No more NHS lawyering (30 years was more than enough), just full-time writing fiction from now on. Feeling lucky and positive about it. A fresh new start after a difficult couple of years.

Provocation helpful? Edward De Bono considered river pollution & set up the provocation "the factory is downstream of itself"; this led to idea of forcing a factory to take its water input from a point downstream of its output, an idea which later became law in some countries.
