22nd May, 2025: World Goth Day.
Right … it’s now officially Thursday: and I have to head into town.
Medication — Metformin, in this case — has turned up.
Which means … ?
Heading into town to pick the stuff up.
Ho … … hum!

In other news … ?
There’s a woman in Suffolk called Jo Willis: who’s found a spherical chicken egg!
Apparently, finding these has chances of a billion-to-one.
Which gives me a perfect excuse to paraphrase Terry Pratchett: billion-to-one chances come up nine times out of ten.

In even more news … ?
It seems the government are planning to release prisoners earlier than usual: in a bid to free up prison places.
Including release those convicted of domestic violence … and sex offenders.
With a twist: that the sex offenders should receive treatment, treatment known as ‘chemical castration’, in order to qualify.for early release.
I’m not sure that’s a wise idea.
We give sex offenders long sentences partly as punishment: but also for public safety reasons.
I can also remember reading a few biographies of Alan Turing: who received similar treatment after convictions for his homosexuality.
And came away with the impression chemical castration didn’t work.
I can only repeat the question I’ve already asked.
Is this wise?
