“Views and commentary on everything from family and home life to what’s happening in the news around the world. Reviews and opinion on consumer products and services from a broad range of the marketing spectrum”.
Well, that’s the official summary of this blog; actually it’s an outlet for me to air my opinion on just about everything that’s happening. I was always a great writer of letters to the editor in newspapers but it bugged me when the editors refused to publish my really heated missives. So I use this now because I can say what I like and in my own style. I’ve started this as I have always loved to write but was particularly bad at keeping a diary over the years; it’s grown larger than I anticipated but keeps the brain cells active plus family and friends around the world can keep up to date with what I’m doing these days. I was a professional violist before I left Australia and I love classical music; any music really except the type that interfere’s with your brainwaves and induces hallucinations.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the ‘read’ and feel free to leave a comment.

Just thought I would leave an unexpected “hello” from an unknown soul. Far from home, on an oilrig off the coast of Western Australia. As the Medic on the rig, gladly I am rather bored. I had a thought this morning to begin a quest to track down “ode to a sleeping beauty”. A memory from my childhood long ago. Trusting you will have a great day. fair winds and a following sea. Richard.
An oilrig – really??? how fascinating, you would have to be in one of the most isolated places on earth! well, I am glad you found that lovely piece here and trust it means as much to you as it does to me….which is quite a lot. I hope the weather is fine and fair out in the Indian Ocean(?)
That you are a medic and bored as well suggests everyone is safe and well
Cheers Richard
Everyone is very safe as the company considers safety paramount. I do have admin to do, however, the time is often spent researching memories and thoughts. One has to keep oneself busy out here in the never never.
PS, the sunsets and sunrises are fantastic!
Discovered your site via a Tweet that was critical of your post about the Indian media. I agree with you btw.
As a newspaper editor I like to read heated missives. Blogs are a better alternative in many cases though.
