family

Over the last week or so it really feels like I've entered retirement. My children have been absent; mia now lives in the midwest with her horses, dog & boyfriend, &y son Joe has been away just a couple of weeks with his dog & mother. 
.        Cudi, on holiday.

I really missing them both & the animals. I have one dog & a couple of cool cats, but its feeling lonely here. When I'm busy renovating, reading & exercising, there's no problem, but in the quieter moments its pretty blah. I remember years ago after the last of my siblings had left home, when I visited my parents I wondered why the TV & radio were left on, really loudly. Now I understand. 

But, its a passing phase, just while I'm waiting to kick into my next life stage. Bring it on.

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.
