Depression is a quiet killer. It is not like a virus that attack immediately and by doing so makes itself known. Depression settles in our minds and makes itself comfortable over time. It is often so gradual that we do not notice, like a sunny day that succumbs to gathering clouds, unnoticed until we are…

I love Bovril. I like it more than Marmite. I love salt, pepper, Aromat seasoning and many other things you can shake and spread. Japanese and Korean sauces turn any sandwich or meal into something I would steal. Biscoff cookie butter is divine, it sends shivers down my spine! Life without the ability to spice…

Life can be tough. I remember times when things just went wrong non stop. This is so common there is even a folk saying ‘trouble comes in threes’. It still happens to me! Last month we got a nail in the left rear wheel of all three our vehicles in the same week! Sometimes when…

I have the greatest respect for soldiers, those men and women willing to die for their country. I absolutely despise the politicians that send these men and women to war to fight for freedom. Whose freedom? These politicians are quick to say freedom is not free and asks a high price. They gladly pay that…

Read any well written sentence and replace all the adjectives with variations of the F-bomb, and you will still get the meaning of the original sentence. It may even convey more meaning because that word carries different emotion and feeling for each of us. This word is relative to our experiences and sensitivity, the size…

I am nearing the end of my career. I have worked on two continents in both hemispheres of this pretty planet. I am fortunate that my work has always been indoors, and challenging, fulfilling and rewarding. It has also been stressful, irritating, all consuming and intrusive. I had success and failure, I have seen laughter,…
