Memory is Not That Good

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? I love elephants but I don’t have a memory like one. That’s 63 years ago. I very much doubt I even thought about it. I certainly wouldn’t have been knowledgeable enough to know that happy was the most important thing toContinueContinue reading “Memory is Not That Good”

Not Most but Too Many

What’s something most people don’t understand? I don’t know how many supporters of evil there are in this world – evil being war and all crimes against the person especially when committed by those in power – but I have to believe that more people just want to get on with their day. Be healthyContinueContinue reading “Not Most but Too Many”

Speaking as a Retired Person

How has technology changed your job? This typewriter is way more modern than the first one I used 🤣 I started on the old sit-up-and-beg typewriter you will have seen in the films of the 40’s and 50’s. Then I moved on to the telex machine, starting with the T9 which didn’t show you whatContinueContinue reading “Speaking as a Retired Person”

I Have No Goals

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? I used to have goals, then I lost the muse and the feeling of being compelled to write with it.

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? Odd I know, but I’d more prefer to be the person I could have been were it not for a challenging past. I have always felt that there was an alter-ego inside me that was more who I actually am. Taking away allContinueContinue reading “Not Interesting or Interested”

Two Strains of Humanity

The divide between war and peace I had this made up by AI, and it really resonates with me, the beautiful, peaceful, natural way you can live, versus the inexplicable need to establish your dominance in some way. Strength or weakness? People who embrace war, violence, or physical crimes against the person, often see itContinueContinue reading “Two Strains of Humanity”

Whether There’s Weather or Not

What is your favorite type of weather? A natural storm Weather is fine, it’s natural, what is not natural is the current climate in this world. It is not my favourite, it is the worst it’s been in my life. A climate of hate It’s unbelievable how much hate there is in this world, mainlyContinueContinue reading “Whether There’s Weather or Not”

Old History

Who was your most influential teacher? Why? I’ve mentioned Dr Iftikhar Malik from Bath Spa University many times. The most incredible human being I’ve ever met. He changed me for life with his humility, love of the UK, open-mindedness, knowledge of world events, and love of what he did. I wanted to work alongside himContinueContinue reading “Old History”
