In another place not far away which abutted, they had a power-out. Is that actually a… ## [Only the Strong](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/only-strong.html) _2026-08-18 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Only the Strong Take weeds – no, take mosquitos, nipping at your heels; your ankles – how often you feel them kissing hairs just above – ah, it must have been love but it’s over now and even though you dealt her a death blow there’s snowdrifts more coming through. Once a flea thought he was not a flea at all, and jumped, maybe 150 times his relative size but, alas, he was not king all he surveyed.… ## [Moving On Up](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/moving-on-up.html) _2026-08-16 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Moving On Up Some songs sting more than most, but not for those reasons: not love, not hate, never the changing of the seasons or the guard - the rennet’s set them hard - coagulated whatever stirred. Some songs sting because they’re heard. I speak not of loss but something’s lost: they’ve done us wrong, moving on out, your time is up – some bland playlist drops, Falconer and Garraway rap something… ## [Slow Boat to Flushing](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/slow-boat-to-flushing.html) _2026-08-15 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Slow Boat to Flushing ‘You disappeared from view.’ And – on cue – Mylor Harbour fading out like Layla, and other assorted love songs ‘And we were worried about you – but, moving on…’ Simon’s got the helm, steady as she goes - you could trail your hand and stroke the mirrorlon below, break blue borders, to send ripples to shore’s far corners imperceptible by the time they make landfall and comb the… ## [Coming Round Again](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/coming-round-again.html) _2026-08-15 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Coming Round Again Belts and braces – literally – let’s not try metaphor, hide meaning, instead, let’s feed on feelings either eat or be consumed because sometimes they take teaspoons, tap your head, crack you open like an egg. It’s coming round again, tonguing your belly like fire, moving up through guts to heart and we all have guilt. For a start, your sending him to school in trousers tied… ## [I Travel](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/i-travel.html) _2026-08-13 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ I Travel Chacewater garden centre, plants its mark on visitors, who are mostly old. Sipping tea, chewing scones of gritty currants, dollop of cream, jam – cherry, maybe more likely raspberry, excavated from the wholesale tin. Spit seeds from gapped teeth where they lodge like squatters, dab tissues on dribbles like blotters. Some have a partner oppositting, perhaps there’s a little talking –… ## [Integrated Crisis Care Continuum Expands Access for Youth and Families](https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2026/08/13/integrated-crisis-care-continuum-expands-access-for-youth-and-families/) _2026-08-13 · Lauren Dembeck · Pediatrics Nationwide_ Nationwide Children’s comprehensive crisis care continuum connects youth and families with timely, individualized mental health support across hospital, outpatient and community settings.

On the wrapping. Quite clear, signifying singular: ‘Butcher’s Choice’ it assures us, slapped on the thin plastic packet which some sleeving machine took no time at all to wrap it in. Purporting to be sausages, high quality product, these porkers - a year before a walker as Squeeze would have it in reverse – appropriate, you’d think, but fry them, they… ## [Teatime Tygers](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/teatime-tygers.html) _2026-08-12 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Teatime Tygers It’s written as a cautionary tale, obviously, one you can’t fail to spot. Even a retired mallet, gone to seed and having cracked his fair share of heads would leap out of his deathbed for this one. Devised by a hack with a nought degree, ECE, probably – into barrel-bottoming with a major in crayoning, fuzzy felt and tummy time. Couldn’t cut it as a teacher, throws on a dog collar to… ## [Sorcha](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/sorcha.html) _2026-08-11 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Sorcha Why do two truths flower on one face? Maybe you’ll see traces at first – like how pinks streak a warning sky before melting into blues – perhaps a cry – Shock? Surprise? Something you’ll recognise. Smoke signals that always have been there, lofting skywards – calling both to dare to read, pore over the hieroglyphs once obscure but becoming obvious: and now the flames are fanned, she’ll… ## [CLI-first decentralized compute (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/sU7H1qDkQyGF) _2026-08-11 · **Sponsored**_ Run and pay spare GPUs from the CLI — transcode, coinpay (DID+escrow), infernet (AI). ## [Living Testament](https://pedrorockwriter.blogspot.com/2026/08/living-testament.html) _2026-08-10 · Pete's Scribblings · Pete's Scribblings_ Living Testament And Will. There he is, rubbing shoulders with Gareth Gates. jewel case to jewel case with nothing rare or precious about it – except attitude. Some remember the blubbering, and all that stammers becoming stripped of glamour that no longer gleams, but not many of you, it seems - given the grime that collects under my fingernails should I handle these rejects. Dido, thank you for… ## [Could Missed Feeding Milestones Be Driving NICU Complications?](https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2026/08/10/could-missed-feeding-milestones-be-driving-nicu-complications/) _2026-08-10 · Katie Brind'Amour, PhD, MS, CHES · Pediatrics Nationwide_ New research suggests delayed feeding progression may contribute to growth faltering, prolonged hospitalization and other complications in very preterm infants. For years, clinicians have largely assumed that preterm infants reach feeding milestones later because they are sicker. New research from Nationwide Children’s suggests the relationship may also work in the opposite direction.… ## [A New Tool Opens New Door to Personalized Genetic Risk Assessment](https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2026/08/04/a-new-tool-opens-new-door-to-personalized-genetic-risk-assessment/) _2026-08-04 · Madison Storm · Pediatrics Nationwide_ ## [Novel Ligamentum Teres Reconstruction Technique May Improve Hip Development in Developmental Hip Dysplasia](https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2026/08/03/novel-ligamentum-teres-reconstruction-technique-may-improve-hip-development-in-developmental-hip-dysplasia/) _2026-08-03 · Pam Georgiana · Pediatrics Nationwide_ ## [Planning Starts During Pregnancy for the Fastest Genome Sequencing in the NICU](https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2026/07/31/planning-starts-during-pregnancy-for-the-fastest-genome-sequencing-in-the-nicu/) _2026-07-31 · Jessica Nye, PhD · Pediatrics Nationwide_ Genome sequencing (GS) has become standard for babies with congenital anomalies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Nationwide Children’s.
