It was Spring so I caught a raindrop
It was Autumn and I caught a leaf
It was Winter when I caught a snowflake.
In Summer I caught only sunbeams.

Cradle song of Autumn

I cupped my hands to make a cradle
For the first leaf that fell
It landed

Gold and curling in my palm
That first Autumn. Then.

Apparently contactless cards can be cloned, so banks are looking at an extra layer of security.
A new system will involve the customer's card being held on one side of their nose, and the card reader on the other. Sophisticated AI software will then look for the unique pattern of blood vessels that identifies each customer's nose.
Early press releases suggests the new system will be known as PTTN (paying through the nose).

Then, from the back, a small man said,
"I've never fancied being led",
"And, if I just might make so bold",
"I've never fancied being told".
Security were somewhat vexed
And you can guess what happened next.

I've loved this watercolour since I first saw it.
It was painted by Samuel Palmer, in about 1830, at Shoreham in Kent, where he lived and produced a series of pictures with a visionary and dreamlike quality.
