Delights of the Ordinary

A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

Delights of the Ordinary is my labour of love, a way to share the little joys of life, things we delight in – creativity, art, history and some nuggets of wisdom – taking us away from the AI driven hyper-stimulating doom-scrolling. I also share with you some interesting internet finds to help you see that cyberspace is not just about short form reels but a great way to see the world. If you know even one person who will benefit from reading Delights of the Ordinary, feel free to share.
