The first part of the title of todays piece is obvious - come on - everyones talking about a ceasefire in the Israel / Hamas conflict - so what's happening ? As I was putting the guitar parts together my middle son (  he lives in Italy ) was messaging about this beautiful owl who had come in to his workshop and allowed him or herself to be stroked - just amazing. Everything went out the window and everyone started firing off WhatsApp's - maybe it does have a purpose.
