It's one I always remember

Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2026

It's one I always remember from animal rights days. I still uphold the principles, but I'm less active now. More involved in the environmental movement generally. It all connects up, though. None of these matters exists in a vacuum, distinct from...

Yes, it matters. As Gandhi

Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2026

Yes, it matters. As Gandhi said: The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

I watched a short talk with John Gray earlier, on the fallacy of 'progress'. We don't progress. We just go...

I was with Seeboard - South

Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2026

I was with Seeboard - South Eastern. Started out at 19 as a salesman in one of their showrooms. I was so profoundly bad at the job that they eventually shifted me off to the district offices... where I discovered a certain talent for clerical...

Wonderful! Reading this

Posted on Fri, 04 Sep 2026

Wonderful! Reading this triggered my own (dormant) wanderlust. Apart from all over the US and Canada, and a few places in France, I've not really been anywhere. I barely even go to my own town centre now. But I can travel in other ways. As Peter...

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2026

I did succumb to a Kobo for reading - but principally because book covers, for some reason, set of my contact dermatitis. Late onset, so I'm guessing it's something in the inks. Glossy mags are gloves-on only!

Yes, it was meant to be only...

Another great episode,

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2026

Another great episode, Turlough. Agree with you about my near-neighbour Geldof. I love your mix of observations - personal, general and universal. Always makes me think of the Alan Bennett diaries for that.

Posted on Sun, 14 Jun 2026

Intriguing. I was struck by some of the strange images - 'the stars a fish shape', 'soft as shandy'. There's a kind of synaesthesia I myself feel sometimes. Hearing colours. Tasting sounds. Part of the condition, so I understand. Thank goodness...

I'm also glad you decided to post this, Jenny. Very powerful. It's always the waiting that does it.

You have! Innocent times. I'd

Posted on Sat, 06 Jun 2026

You have! Innocent times. I'd left school, hadn't started work yet. I naively thought that leaving school meant I knew all I ever needed to know about everything. Reality a few years later was a big shock. I haven't quite recovered!
