If Animals Could Talk...
I am quite certain people have asked themselves from time to time about what if animals could talk. Seriously, suppose for one second animals gained the ability to speak. What would they tell us? How would we respond? The conversations about humankind and animals would be astounding. The pluses would be people would have a better understanding of their pets and the lives of their pets.

Omar's Diary for August 2019
One can quite easily summarise the events here at Omar Towers during August in two words: UPHEAVAL & CHANGE Change? It isn't what it used to be.

Omar's Diary to August 10, 2019
It does not feel very much like summer currently as there have been heavy rains and strong winds attacking the windows of Omar Towers that are forecast to continue for the rest of today. It feels like the encroachment of Autumn into Summer. A good day for remaining indoors and sorting things out.

Pigeons - The Evolution of Fight or Flight
Pigeons. The city vermin that nobody could catch. Originally, likening human behaviour to pigeons was similar to being a 'chicken' or a 'scaredy cat'. However, over the years, pigeons have evolved from long distance prey to bold attacker in a Darwin like journey second to none. Here, we will look at how pigeons have become one of the boldest animals in the kingdom today.

Omar's Diary—May 24, 2019
This last week has not been the best of weeks here at my official residence, Omar Towers. In the wake of my photograph appearing in The New European, along with a short ‘bio’, I believe that is the correct journalistic term, there have been no requests for me to make any guest appearances. Not even a booking to open a supermarket, or new pet shop. I can only assume as increasing numbers of servants’ shop online nowadays that these events are becoming rarer with every click of the mouse on the ‘basket’ icon.
