As the regular Blundell crew of mega-influencers – which reminds me of a kid joke The budgie went missing but hey grandfather (the writer’s own grandpa, a 1920s-on South Australian public educator steeped in Alfred Marshall, Wm McDougall & Albert Venn Dicey was an Oxford University Press pre-publication appraiser) opened the door and influenza, you’ll all be passionate about the fundamental Content : Process dial-out and consequent upon your studies of the last five years champing-at-the-bit to demand that it be mainstreamed in every educational institution on Earth on pain of cessation of public funding (in the breach) AND to the challenges of document titling, ever socially conscious that the mere announcement, presentation and display of a brand or category of study ensures Foucaultian artificial or socially-constructed ex fact compartmentalisation and ‘siloing’ of your written works – as the million so-called posts on X Comms that are 95%, say, lost to reflective deliberation, assessment and decision¹ by the public in 30 minutes flat.. to 99.9 recurring beyond 35mins.. So yes it’s shaped up as Content-Enumeration-Process, ahmm.

Beavers

Castoroides (from Latin castor (beaver) and –oides (like)^[2]), or the giant beaver, is an extinct genus of enormous, bear-sized beavers that lived in North America during the Pleistocene. Two species are currently recognized, C. dilophidus in the Southeastern United States and C. ohioensis in most of North America. C. leiseyorum was previously described from the Irvingtonian age but is now regarded as an invalid name. All specimens previously described as C. leiseyorum are considered to belong to C. dilophidus.

‘Trying to,’ said Annette.

‘Take another slug of Easy Night. Gilda rang me. She was really worried about you. Go back to sleep, sweetheart. See you later. We’ll bring back fish and chips.

‘And Dr Rhea Marks? Will she come too for fish and chips?’

‘I shouldn’t think so,’ said Spicer. ‘You’ve terrified her out of her wits, Annette. I’m not exactly lkng frwrd 2 Rainbow Puppeteers. Don’t make matters even worse than you’ve made them already.’

‘Sorry, Spicer. Is this call being broadcast through the office?’

‘Yes,’ said Spicer, ‘come 2 think of it. But you’re a media personallty. It shouldnt worry you.’

‘Oh yes,’ said Annette.

God and Lucifer had the first one: brilliant of you to have seen that Lucifer was female. After that it was Jupiter and Juno. What can the rest of us poor mortals do in the face of the archetype? We have our pet psychotherapist to help us see through the dark to the light.

That’s the bit we’d like you to read from Lucifette Fallen : on page eight of the proof copy. I must say your publisher whizzed ir round to us. The para beginning “Where darkness becomes light” – down to “What can a child do but repeat the experience?” And then sit next to Oprah and chat a bit about your own experiences and what drove you to write the novel,’

‘I’m sorry – I’ve lost you. I’m still a bit sleepy – ‘
