| Run for it ! |
.
As usual a very big well done to everyone completing an event recently, you've done better than most people. Feel good about it and make sure you get your memories for that rainy/sunny/cold/muddy day. You never know when you're going to be looking at this running stuff like the spire of the Notre Dame... (too soon ?) or is this your come back like Tiger Woods after 11 years in the wilderness and wondering what you should have done differently in your past life? (also too soon?)
It's been a busy few weeks, and with my wrist in plaster, I've been off camera duties and pretty much not typing much either (and left handed mouse driving is surprisingly easy, but annoyingly slower) - but the news is that the plaster is off, I have two two-inch scars and my very swollen wrist is good for typing once again... ligament repair or not, nothing is going to get in the way of my amazing wit and caption writing (which you know is the only reason you keep your subscription to this blog). How did I end up needing my wrist in plaster you might ask ? well, let me start... well perhaps not.
Here's your links and galleries for the past recent Events, and a nod to the future - have a look at all those lovely free photo events that you want to get your entries in for !!! (some are sold out - I'll leave you to have a look for yourselves...)

so that's about it for this week. We've carefully curated the bankholiday weekend to not be working (a bit of a first to be honest), although I think there is the

extra bit...
If you're into these things - ignoring how or what your opinion on these matters is - have a little look at this video here and prepare to have your eyes opened.
The free market economy relies on “equality of information” (which is why insider trading is illegal), and a democracy also requires and relies on equality and freedom of information- the point is that we no longer have that - we have uneven misinformation and information, lies and truth, shared unevenly and unknowingly- it is no longer a democracy with an open choice to even see this information. People don’t even have a choice to know which information bubble they are being put into. Their own reality is not of their choosing, even if they think it is (and that's the really frightening bit). We have all been played.
This secret data use has killed democracy. Insider trading of data has to be stopped and past abuses revealed - so at least people know that it happened to them.
And on that note, have a happy chocolate bank holiday weekend. [that's the right name for it yes ?]
Until next time
Anthony
