英語：Heads up – Valentine’s Day is coming
Chocolate hearts for loved ones on Valentine’s Day are so last year – at least in Japan where one Tokyo design firm offered up its 3D scanner to make miniature chocolate replicas of faces. In a one-off celebration for Valentine’s Day, KS Design Lab invited people to be scanned with its 3D body scanner to create silicon moulds in the shape of their […]

英語：Anfield cat becomes Internet hit
(Reuters) – A cat that invaded the famous Anfield turf for three minutes during Liverpool’s 0-0 Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday has become an internet celebrity. Several Twitter sites claiming to be the real deal sprung up within hours of the cat’s Lionel Messi-like slalom across the pitch during the first half. One, @AnfieldCat, had already attracted 17,368 followers early on Tuesday […]
I hope life is treating you with respect wherever you may be spending your hard earned weekly or monthly pay packets. Here I am back again with another offering of blog musing and a spot of poetic meandering. I have been feeling a bit under the weather recently and I’m not quite sure if it is because I’m rapidly approaching the big five O, yes 50 years […]
