Living light: what to keep vs everything else
Looking around the room, I marvelled at the effort I've made so far. The books that have been stuffed into cavities of the book shelves, some upright, some slanting across the tops of the upright books and some others lay in stacks, one on top of another, in the remaining real estate that the depth of the bookshelf could afford. On the floor, two piles of books create a small tower halfway up my legs. Not so tall, given that I used to have book towers that extend from floor to ceiling. Once upon a time, the bookshelf, contained only books but now they host a jar of korean-style cultery, a big mug of brushes and pencils, a small glass of medicines ranging from gastric to headache solutions. There were other vials and bottles and containers, all of them seemingly put to good use. At least, that's what I think, since I haven't been able to get rid of them yet. Later, I say to myself. Later, the ultimate solution to worry and action. Having said that, somethings have changed. Upon unpacking this time, I managed to clear the luggage of its contents in one fell swoop, instead of letting it lay on the floor for days until I can figure out which article goes where in my present life, in the room I presently occupy which is not truly my own. Unlike myself, I simply decided that I would clear the bag and hoist it, empty and light, up above the closet where it is technically although not literally out of sight, yet effectively out of mind.

Tutus and Birthdays
Tutus! It's not uncommon to see colourful tutus prancing, leaping and trotting around parkrun courses. Typically, they celebrate milestones for participants... volunteering at or completing 25, 50, 100, 200 or 400 events. Not so yesterday at Highfields, Qld (Australian) parkrun. Tutus were celebrating parkrun's 22nd Birthday . Why tutus? Two-two; 22; tutu for those of us who had trouble keeping up... even before running the 5km event!

Borrowed Thinking
A sixteen-year-old in 2026 can ask a chatbot to outline an essay, explain a scientific paper, compare two universities, rehearse a difficult conversation with a parent, or suggest what to do about a friend who has stopped replying. This is no longer a fringe behavior. In a Pew Research Center survey conducted in fall 2025, 54 percent of U.S. teenagers aged 13 to 17 said they had used AI chatbots for help with schoolwork, and one in ten said they do all or most of their schoolwork with that help.

The Beat Goes On - Thankfully
The heart is the body’s engine. Without it, we die; if it is not functioning properly, it can severely affect our lives. Your heart does amazing things day in and day out. It pumps about 5 litres (8 pints) of blood throughout your body through the arteries and veins. This network stretches over 60,000 miles (almost 100,000 kilometres).
