Ah, the eternal wisdom of the fortune cookie factory behind Lloyds List 🥠—shocking revelation: the experts might be wrong! 🚨 Meanwhile, they spice it up with a hearty serving of cookie consent warnings because who doesn't enjoy a side of internet bureaucracy with their maritime panic? 🍪💻

They all said Hormuz closure would be brief. What if they were wrong?

On day six of the Middle East war, hope of a swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is fading. There does not seem to be a quick fix. A material return of transits in the future will require shipowners to be convinced that the route is safe for their crew and vessel assets

"You are more than what the pain has put you through."

#ArdenLeigh, from the song When You Come Undone by Arden and the Wolves;

This song was released on the 2016 album It Looks Like Trouble. There's some real lived experience behind these lyrics, and a deep and abiding joy in the performance of the song. A fantastic recording, reminds me of Wreckage by Pearl Jam and every bit as good.

I was on my way home from a workshop painting for Chinese new year. A stranger had given me a fortune cookie because she loved my drawing. And no, there is no way it could have been rigged. Sorry to my fellow train travellers for the sudden outburst of laughter.🤭

It's fun cracking open fortune cookies on Lunar New Year. And every now and again, you get some decent wisdom.

Not sure about a new career but something fulfilling is what I hope to get.

Organised doesn't mean doing everything perfectly without breaking a sweat. It means being prepared enough to get most things done, especially the important ones, with a manageable amount of stress.
