Who are your favorite people to be around? They make that easy I can easily choose one friend, Katrina, without a second’s hesitation, but we have the advantage of living close to each other and being able to be there in a real way. Which does nothing to diminish her positive impact on my life.ContinueContinue reading “Tactful Answer”

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. The tan pair I bought a pair of boots in 1999, what we used to call Shoots, they came up higher than a shoe but didn’t go up to the ankle. At first sight there was nothing exceptional about them, except theyContinueContinue reading “Twenty Year Old Boots”

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. I did that yesterday with the keys? Here’s one, we go a way back and he’s still here standing by me. However, I’ve had a lot of gifts in my life, most of which I can’t recall. What I do recall clearly, is the one giftContinueContinue reading “Rats”

Write about your approach to budgeting. It used to be lax, but in the last few years we’ve really cleaned up our act. Partly because we have more awareness of the needs of, and sense of responsibility towards, the planet. We’re now far more careful what we buy, and how we dispose of it, makingContinueContinue reading “Stricter Now”

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? Patriotic means division. The world is my country. It’s people are my people. The animal kingdom is my honour and privilege.

I’m ex emergency services, I know too much to drive like an idiot. I did once take a book as a very young teenagerContinueContinue reading “Good Question”

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be?

What were your parents doing at your age? Seriously, they were living in South London having moved back from the coast. They were always a dichotomy, dad needed the sea, and freedom, mum wanted to be near family. She’d won the battle. They never had a let up of pressure, my dad’s health had startedContinueContinue reading “Getting Old 🤣”

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I would like stronger controls around the use of social media. When I say strong think something that would make a fully grown elephant look weak. For too long these companies have got away with allowing violence and abuse ofContinueContinue reading “Social Media”

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? I admit I find this hard to imagine. I dream of a few things I would love to happen, but I can’t begin to imagine what it would feel like. I’ve been far from unlucky in my life, but I’ve never hadContinueContinue reading “Sit Down Before I Fall Down”
