What a week – we were snowed in and my city-raised dog discovered the joys of chasing snowballs while I rediscovered how important it is to be flexible.
The snow is now melting but, as a consequence, I’m acquainted with the local farm shop (the only place we could reach), learned to fix yet another boiler and bow once more to the power of nature.

Use it as you wish!
We’ll kick off with something that I really like – a bunch of AI plagiarism detection tools.
I’ve been creating a new course for you which I am releasing at the end of this coming week and it’s all about using AI in the right way to make bank rather than in the dubious ways many suggest.
