State of play and update.

Either this is a regular calendared announcement, or something changed. Those are the only times such semi-dramatic pronouncements are made.

We want to be informed. Yet being informed of everything is too much, overloading and in some ways back to being valueless.

What we want is fresh inspiration, observation, texture, timbre and taste.

We must know the smell, the subtle fragrances, the herbal implications and the tone of voice.

That stuff makes a story of anything.
