About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

Perhaps Anonw should reconsider the caption for this photo. It looks like rusty pipes to me!

They go deep in the ground and you only see the black bit. With steel reinforcing bars, they grip better if they’re rusty. I think in the 1950s they used to clean them, but when someone tested rusty bars against clean ones, the concrete made with rusty bars was stronger.
