After a decade of blogosphere silence, I have decided to dust off my keyboard, and load a fresh cartridge of digital ink. What a whirlwind decade it’s been – pandemic pandemonium, family milestones (both good and sad), and a truckload of memes that I still don’t understand. My boys have morphed from screen-obsessed teenagers into bona fide mature, successful adults, leaving me with a smidge more ‘Me time’ to pontificate about life, love, and the pursuit of a decent cup of coffee. 

So, what’s on the agenda for this rebooted blog? Well, I’m diving back into the delightful world of social commentary, tossing in a dash of economic banter, and sprinkling some political punditry on top. But fear not, I promise to keep it light and breezy, OK I lied, but it will be entertaining, educational and hopefully eloquent.  I am also planning to share stories from my over five decades of working experience while living on four continents, and visiting 70 countries. 

As I dust off my mental filing cabinet, I’ve unearthed a treasure trove of ideas for future posts. From the quirks of local politics to the joys of community potlucks, I’ve got about 20 drafts simmering on the back burner, just waiting to be served up with a side of finger pointing and a large dollop of eye rolling.  

So grab a virtual seat, pour yourself a metaphorical cuppa Joe, and let’s embark on this conversational adventure together. Comments are welcome and gratefully received, as long as the discourse is polite, on point and respectful.

Finally, other than the ‘About’ picture of yours truly, all the images used with the posts are either sourced from the Interweb or AI generated by me.
