So, here we are again. Sunshine, showers and all the different types weather in one week.

It's quite a strange world to be living in as a digital native these days. One moment you hear about AI taking your jobs, the next, it's that the US have banned and unbanned a so called social media company that ryhmes with Click-Clock... and the next moment, every business seems to be restructuring and asking for yet another subscription.

It's quite right that everyone feels a little bit unsettled. So if you're feeling that way, I've got some internet gems below to keep you optimistic and smiling :-)

Anyway, that's enough from me.

Enjoy.
