    What's your weather like 2026

    I was with my sister, 15 months older than me. I got a job at 16 as Private Secretary for the President of a company contracted to NASA. British Secretaries with Shorthand and Typing were rare.

    I saw a blackbird while walking. It landed a half a meter in front of me on a stone wall. It’s the first time since 2024 that I saw one again.
