I unwind with music, games, and relaxation. In my earlier life I used to play the keyboard in the evening. Now it’s mainly guitar. I enjoy playing along to Rocksmith 2014. I should really stop depending on it, but it’s been such fun over the years. I enjoy computer games too. I sometimes play Walkabout … Continue reading Music, Games, Relaxation

I don’t use social media much, so maybe I should sing that old Paul Simon song – I Am A Rock. In religion class back in the 1970s, I remember a priest referring to that song. I think he was trying to encourage us to be social. Actually, I can think of two songs about … Continue reading I Am a Rock

I review a different year of my life each day. Rather than going through chronologically, I started half-way through my life. So, I alternate between going backwards and forwards. Today, I’m in 1976. I observe and edit an online diary that I created on Google Sites, which features songs, films, pictures, both public and family, … Continue reading 1976

Back in 1984, I went on interrail across Europe for three weeks on my own. I ended up in Munich after a week in France and Holland and eventually I went as far as Pompei. Anyway, I was a student at the time so I slept on trains, in railway stations, and in hostels. In … Continue reading A Sweet from a Sweet Lady

I’ve made many decisions that helped me to learn and grow. Most are related to my Christian faith, but in latter years, I have taken a greater interest in my physical and mental health. We rarely touched on such issues in school, but perhaps such education is improving nowadays. But the biggest decision was something … Continue reading Not Again 😀

I visit everywhere virtually on YouTube and GoogleEarth, but I don’t have much appetite to travel. There’s a legend that Saint Patrick chased snakes out of Ireland, but most other countries have snakes. I did once touch a snake in Dublin Zoo, but I don’t entirely trust them 😀. So maybe I’m better off staying … Continue reading Babylon

I see my mother as the most influential person in my life. And though I often cite evangelicals who were a big influence on me, I think my Roman Catholic mother was probably the biggest influence on me regarding my faith in Jesus. When I became an evangelical Christian when I was 18, my mother … Continue reading Encouragement in My Faith

We do enjoy food, but for the most part, we enjoy meals at home. If we are eating out, we’ll go somewhere cheap, like Wetherspoon’s. I particularly like the Forty Foot in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, where you can look out at the harbour while eating lunch. And there are at least three more around Dublin. … Continue reading Wetherspoons

I’ll be 74 in 10 years. Maybe things will be pretty much as they are now, with a few annoying health issues. But if Paul McCartney Bob Dylan, and The Rolling Stones are still touring at their age, I could do one final world tour. But I’m not famous, and I never recorded any songs. … Continue reading Final World Tour

Here goes: Regarding the latter point, we sometimes laugh at a line from an old hymn: At the cross, at the crossWhere I first saw the light,And the burden of my heart rolled away,It was there by faith I received my sight,And now I am happy all the day! Is anybody really happy all the … Continue reading Happy All the Day
