Written and published 01/12/2025 at 10 42, according to the time on my pc...then later in the day at 17 00 when the date on the blog swiched to 1st December 2025...

Looking at life with a wee bit of hilarity
The darker hair because since I started swimming 16 yrs ago which inspired me to try my hand, or in my case my legs, when I started to run the 2500 steps home afterwards: my hair appearing to be turning back to its original dark brown, although in my first years it was blonder...
Non-migratory since 2020 when I last took a winter holiday in the sun with the announcement there was a Chinese lady in Finnish Lapland carrying Covid 19, as we returned to Finland from a sojourn in Tenerife : my wife around this same time since then travelling with our younger son and his family first to Jordan then on another occasion to South Africa and Cape Town on her longest migration. On the other hand my visits to Arctic Norway and Finland summer migrations started but only from the south of Finland...
And lastly impaired urination because the säde hoito (= radiation treatment) which began the 18th November with each and every weekday since, my 10th coming later today, the halfway point, has resulted in impairing the performance of my bladder no longer capable of storing sufficient urine to prevent multiple visits to urinate during night-times..!

Not a blog for the whole of my readership but hey one has to be prepared to take the good with the smooth in this life or what do I hear the chorus of refrain? hahaha

Remembering my mother on her 21st death day..? 25 5 18

This my yacht she got to sit in if not to sail... A blog perhaps more for the members of my family who one day in the not-too-distant future will be remembering me on my as yet unknown death day? A day in the last week or 7 days when I got to write two letters of condolences to the loved ones of friends who were once dear to me, as above all others was of course my Mam, aged 90 I like to think of, as 90 years and 13 weeks on Earth in her 91st year. As I remarked in the wee speech I made at my 60th birthday Bash in Elton Liberal Club, to the gathering of friends and family that attended this occasion, my Mam saw me over the foothills of my life growing up in Bury, after which my wife A-E took over on the bigger peaks, in my case the Munro hills of Scotland: behind every great man there stands a woman goes the saying and in my case I would claim two such people. Great? Only in your own mind do I here the refrain? But in terms of a mother's love I could not have desired better ...

Just another beautiful day..? 2026 3 11

Yeah, but how many more has one a right to expect when the world at present is so full of suffering and strive, so much bloodshed in the middle east, and in many of their once sacred places??? Here in Finland, we its ppl are just emerging from one of the worst winters in a good few years: 2021 when I last walked any distance on frozen ice visiting our out-lying islands, in more usual days only seen across the sea! And its ppl I'm going to venture to say more friendly than usual, since we have shared the experience of the cold climate together: cars usually no time to stop at Zebra Crossings, now slowing down in good time, and stopping even though the zebra stripes are unseen covered, by snow and ice... When I am reminded that in these northern climes of Norway Sweden and Finland it is the strong community spirit which contrives to hold us closer together, never more apparent than in the depths of winter? Today with social media such as X formerly Twitter, Tik-Tok, You-tube and ...

On the day I became a Humanist? 25 11 11

Not because my brother just sent me an email in which he mentioned by way of saying he is still getting out and about that he was doing alright, and as usual, had been selling poppies for his local Lion's Club in support of War Veterans, raising as much as £200, but because I decided the label was better than the Atheist Label I have used sometimes in the past. Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the potential and agency of human beings, using reason, compassion, and science to guide life and build a more humane society. Which is not to say I was brought up without any religious teachings or visits to religious institutions. As a baby for example I was Christened at St Lukes in our at the time local Anglican Church located in the area of Fallowfield in Manchester nearby where I was born. In childhood I can recall being dragged by the scruf of the neck by my maternal grandmother, Alice Anne I like to refer to as, the 1/2 mile to our local Methodist Churc...
