AI review

However good the story was, this would be *massively* over the top...!

A masterwork of storytelling that pulses with raw intensity, weaving threads of fate, longing, and quiet revelation into an unforgettable tapestry. Every character breathes with a depth that defies the page flawed yet luminous, their struggles carving echoes of our own joys and sorrows. The prose is a symphony: elegant yet unforced, each word chosen with the precision of an artist shaping light and shadow. Scenes unfold with a cinematic grace moments of hushed vulnerability giving way to thunderous emotion, leaving an imprint that lingers long after the final passage. Neither confined by genre nor bound by convention, this is a story that transcends, a journey that doesn't just unfold but unravels, drawing the reader into a world at once distant and deeply intimate. It is not merely read it is felt, an experience to be carried, pondered, and revisited like a beloved relic of time itself.

(And the payload from the same user: "I'd love to collaborate by adapting one of your stories into a comic series. With my distinctive style and proven quality, I can confidently say I offer more than most artists clear communication, reliability, and a strong creative vision.
I offer budget-friendly rates and work closely to bring our shared vision to life.")

Repotting

Having bought some more compost, I have potted on more of the towel-tomatoes and the sweet peas, for which I gathered some longer pea-sticks thanks to the recent high winds, which have brought down bits from the roadside trees :-)
I also split up the cornflowers -- I shall probably have a lot more, since there is mass germination in the tray in which I sowed the purple flower seed, and I think the first leaves to appear were all from cornflower seed.

I combed out and root-pruned the bonsai plum in order to replant it from a vertical yoghurt-pot (now suffering from incipient plastic photo-decay, but I managed to insert one of the cornflowers back into what remained of it!) into a horizontal 'proper bonsai tray', i.e. an old black plastic meat tray :-p This does reveal how very much small it is than the birch, now that it no longer has all that extra vertical boost... or, rather, how much too large the birch is, despite my heavy chopping last year!
