So I thought I'd have a bit of fun with AI and see what it might come up with, combining my black belt and barrister skills in one photo. This is what it came up with. With apologies for the obviously American court background and of course the gavel. We can't expect miracles yet with AI!
Court room scene with lady in a barrister wig, tabs and robes wearing a white dobok underneath, with black belt, kicking across in court, hands in guard, gavel (sorry!) falling to floor, judge and public gallery looking shocked.

Blessings for the New Year. Shamelessly nicked from Facebook.
Cartoon showing various blessings for the new year:
1. May your wifi signal be strong
2. May your snacks be plentiful
3. May coffee never burn your tongue
4. May dogs smile upon you
5. May cats always choose your lap
6. May your house plants thrive
7. May your naps always be refreshing
but above all else
8. May you be healthy, happy and unburdened by f****ery

No playing a Christmas game called #Mazur'sRun&Gun. Nope. You all misunderstood the position. They said all along that supervision was not sufficient, right? So, instead, you can now play a Christmas game called Track Attack. Nothing to do with #Mazur. sarahrobsonbarrister.co.uk/christmas-game

If you were going to make a fun Christmas game on your website along the lines of #Mazur, with you chasing + being chased, what might you call it? * Mazur Trials * Mazur Mayhem/Mayday * Mazur's Mince Pie Mayday * Mazur Mania * Mazur Rogue Rush * Mazur Crossfire * Mazur Run & Gun * Mazur Escape etc?

Ladies and Gentlemen! May I introduce you to two new Black Belts and one new 2nd Dan Black Belt? The three in the middle took their gradings at the weekend and they all passed. I am so proud of every one of my students, they have all worked really hard to get here. Congratulations! #BlackBelt

Went to see The Amateur over the weekend. Good film. Very clever. Slightly hard to believe, though, that top-ranking officials who were doing naughty things could be blackmailed over them in modern USA. Rather than promoted.
