When I was a little kid, we used to go to fairs. We had this thing called the lucky dip. You would put your hand into a box of goodies and wonder what treasure lay within. Would it be wonderful? Would it be a disappointment? A booby prize? It was only after you grabbed a particular " treasure ", unwrapped it and gazed upon it that you would know if you had had a lucky dip or an unlucky dip. Such is life today.

It has been nearly two weeks since I was last outside my four walls. Nearly a month since I last entered a store or saw another human being, except for delivery people dropping off food or the building manager dropping off a wheelie bin for my rubbish twice a week.

I must have struck the right cord because that stunning girl and I got married in 1958 and are now looking forward to our 64th wedding anniversary next year with a clutch of children and grandchildren who make life worth living.

I REMEMBER WHEN Armistice Day was commemorated spontaneously, reverently and universally.
As a kid at state (primary) school we were taught about the sacrifice of the soldiers who died in the war to end all wars and assembled at 11.00am to salute the flag, the Union Jack, and have 2 minutes silence with heads bowed. That was in the 1940’s when there were many veterans of WW1 still among us.

It was 3 years ago. I had become disgruntled with and disillusioned by my inability to fully express myself on other blogs or online media, So I, with the support of my family, embarked on a journey that has been both gratifying and frustrating,
“FDA advisory panel OKs Pfizer vaccine for children 5 to 11,” announced a recent NBC News headline.
How could a panel that is supposedly composed of rational clear-headed scientists make such an inexplicable recommendation?
Social psychologist Roy Baumeister begins his book Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty, with a proposition that will be counterintuitive to many: “Evil usually enters the world unrecognized by the people who open the door and let it in. Most people who perpetrate evil do not see what they are doing as evil.”
