My Favourite Toy as a Child

This is the fourth post in a WP challenge (“Bloganuary”) to write something every day throughout January with the aid of a prompt. The above title is the prompt. I had an analogue, non-electronic, and gender-stereotypical childhood here in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s. It has been difficult to choose a favourite toy… Read More My Favourite Toy as a Child

The Last Time I Left my Comfort Zone

This is the third post in a WP challenge (“Bloganuary”) to write something every day throughout January with the aid of a prompt. The above title is the prompt.

A Road Trip I Would Love to Take?

This is the second post in a WP challenge (“Bloganuary”) to write something every day throughout January with the aid of a prompt. The above title is the prompt. I have added the question mark.

What Has Happened to our Moral Compasses?

Recent political events here in the UK have prompted me to write this blog. I have been struggling with the ideas for a few days and as yet they are far from being fully formed. I am hoping that by trying to express them here they may become clearer to me. I am posting under… Read More What Has Happened to our Moral Compasses?

Dr Derek’s Guide to Being Alert

What, is it May already? Hibernation is one thing, but disappearing from here for close on two years is something else entirely! But I am pertinently awake now to post about alertness. The stimulus for this post comes from our government’s exhortation for us to “Stay Alert!” as we precariously enter the next phase of… Read More Dr Derek’s Guide to Being Alert
