It looks like Twitter/X is finally dying. Elon Musk has made it unusable. So I have closed my account and moved over to Bluesky. The very guy that complained about bots and too much censorship has reduced it to noting but those very things. You cannot be heard unless you pay, and you cannot hear […]
I’m currently making a video for my YouTube Channel and I’ll finish it, “later, maybe”. Two words that can rule your life if you are wrestling with poor mental health. You’ll notice I said wrestling and not suffering. Because, actually I’m doing pretty well currently, but I still struggle even with tasks that I really
Putting a screen protector on your phone can be very satisfying. But also it can make you want to scream for help. Even just a hint of a bubble or the slightest speck of dust and your day, and every day you look at your device, is ruined. Well that’s what I thought. Then I
I need a jump start. Not my car, but my “brand”. My social media presence, this website and most of all, my YouTube Channel. I haven’t posted anything in so long that I may have to re-learn how. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to. Quite the opposite actually. It’s jus that when my mental
Yes I know I have promised before but then were setbacks. This means it has been nearly a year since my last video. Amazingly you have continued to support me, and I’m very grateful. I hope to reward you with some great content that you will love. Please watch this space and let’s get back

A bit dramatic, but I have been missing in action for some time. I apologise but work, ill health and other personal reasons have prevented me from posting. Not just on here, but on my YouTube Channel as well. I am stunned to see that despite this, my subscriber/follower count on several platforms has continued
I was presented with a medal from Her Majesty, just hours after she died. The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal was awarded to serving members of the armed forces and some members of various uniformed organisations. I had qualified for my voluntary work with the Sea Cadet Corps and I was both delighted and honoured to
Do you have a precious heirloom of any kind? One of the most valuable items I own (sentimental value at least) is a gold signet ring. The ring originally belonged to my grandfather. When he died, it was left my father. Now it belongs to me. Having been in the family for so long, I
