  • Today’s header photo, my special place. I find modern life tough, being a man of certain age. the gadgetry, the sheer pace of life itself. A lot of the time I feel I don’t belong. I use various techniques to keep myself sane, I have a regime of meditation, time out, and making sure I Read more

  • I Know Nothing,

    I’m an authority, on knowing I don’t know everything, about anything, I would never say I know more than anyone else, that I do know. I also know, that people who know everything never do, and people that know nothing, know they know nothing, so they do know something. So I know that I’m right, Read more

  • I’ve mentioned before in my blog, I am a better person now after my cancer six years ago. If I’d have been the man I am now forty years ago we would never have had our two boys, such is my fear for the way the world is heading. Not just the wars but the Read more

I must admit up to me having cancer several years ago I wasn’t a model human being, by my reckoning as I am at the moment anyway. Cancer was a wake up call, whoever made Read more

  • Rant and socks

    Most of my time is wasted in trying to convince people that we are ruining civilisation with our own stupidity and greed. I try not to use this blog to that end, but I was asked the question, and that’s my answer. STOP PRESS! The Stupid boy. The stupid boy was now eighteen, it had Read more

  • my Bentley

    The other day I received a prompt for my blog “What are you good at?” Not being confident of all things internet, I put something about my writing. Today though sat here bored, and with my hands still very sore from my burn injuries. I thought I’d try and get something on about my model Read more

  • Hello World.

    Hello World.       I’m a self confessed technophobe, I started expressing myself with stories and verse on a blackboard outside my home. Rain and chalk though are not a good mix! So after years of pushing myself, and a surprise turn of events, I now have this blog thing, which has the longest domain Read more
