I’m busy wondering why trying to persuade everybody
to buy Smart Meters when they don’t even work properly
is more like propaganda…

So which is it for you: A Dying Fall, or is September the new January,
full of new beginnings? You can certainly enjoy Gabrielle O’Donovan’s
Miracle Of Samhain, Drift with Rosie Adamson-Clark, and like Brooke James,
give thanks for An Abundance of Blessings – or be intrigued by
Capybara and a camera; let Anne Osbourn explain. It’s all in a good cause,
like Tariq Hassan’s Ten Charities; just follow Alyza Taguilaso‘s Instructions
then you can appreciate Resurgam (Terence Brick) and concoct
something divine, like Ian Caws‘ Confectioner. But watch out for
Jeff Skinner’s warning about a Cloudburst, even more so
When it came to ways of saving the planet (Julian Bishop).
You may feel the need for some kind of Defence, as Aidan Coleman does.
Or just a really good read…
