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.

Indeed. Ties in with the rendition of Lennon’s ‘Give Peace a Chance’ at the Mayor’s Trafalgar Square Ukraine solidarity rally on Saturday afternoon.
However, the rather bland sentiments of that song, famous though it is, are completely outclassed by ‘Nobody Wins a War’ by calypsonian Tobago Crusoe. That was sung at The Tabernacle arts centre the same evening and gained Crusoe prolonged applause. Although not a new song, every line of it is up-to-the-minute relevant – well worth listening to.
And here’s a coincidence: Crusoe sang classic calypso in the two Paddington Bear films; Voldymyr Zelensky was the voice of Paddington in the Ukrainian version of those two films. Paddington was, of course, a resident of RBKC, ostensibly living a few minutes walk from the Tabernacle.
