Progress, But Off Road.

 I am still alive and kicking, sadly wet weather amd heavy bouts of Land Rover repair have kept me off the Little Camino. But the drive to complete the journey is strong.

In recent weeks some things I've  done to maintain progress towards my ultimate goal of walking Camino Norte or Frances are; reading, eating healthy and selling cycle gear to  raise funds. One vast breakthrough in the latter was to receive over $3 000 in compensation for the loss of my bee hives due to Varroa Mite outbreaks locally. I've not received this  kind of financial windfall for many years, it is literally a quarter of my yearly income!

Emotionally, I am flying high, a) from my Little Camino progress and b) from tending several small animals born this spring. Particularly a goat kid named Pogo. 



Buen camino

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
