Visiting Dad
Gentle Reader I went to see my father recently. I try to get to see him every so often. Sometimes I just drop in when I have time, but I do try and make a couple of special dates. I keep him up to date with the various family goings on that I am privy… Continue reading

Catchphrase
I am wondering whether I need a catchphrase to open up my gifts to the universe (my text). I have been listening to some podcasts (I am down with the kids, you know, and am hip to the latest devices) and an introduction could help with my branding. For example, Beau of the fifth column… Continue reading

Transformations
Who do we feel close to? What are we a part of? Who are our people? For each of us there is a different answer, I imagine. I, for instance could close people the same colour as me, the same nation, region or town as me. I could identify myself by my age group, or… Continue reading

Tibé
Today is a day to remember our belovèd Tibé. A tortoiseshell cat that came to me in 2003. Tiny, vocal and a great slayer of rodent-kind. She was born on a farm, but took to the town life with ease – being fed and worshipped as her due. Time took her three years ago today.… Continue reading

62
Recently it was my birthday. And, as usual, it was Mrs W’s determination that I was not to sit around the house and mope about being a year older. No. It was to be a long weekend of family fun. She took two days of leave so we could enjoy ourselves to the limit, me,… Continue reading

I Know That This Is Supposed To Be Easy
But, really… I have created a couple of websites before. My first was for my social enterprise (www.bluekeycic.co.uk), for the purpose of having a shop front, a must for any organization these days of information technology.
