When I started this blog in May 2009, I said that I had 'time to look around, turn over stones and see if this country of ours is, or ever was, a country for old men'.
I am still looking.
The 'unexpected' pleasure which this blog has given me is, that there are people in other countries who have read my postings.
So I ask myself : who are you today from ? :
Thailand, Bangkok
Romania, Calarasi
Singapore
Australia, Melbourne
Finland, Salo
United States, New York
Denmark, Arhus
Switzerland, Schnenwerd
United States, Colorado
United States, Utah
The fact is, that I shall never know.
I have grouped my postings below under the following headings, mostly so that I can keep track of what I have posted and possibly because it might be of some interest to someone somewhere :
1. TIME
2. PLACE
3. PERSONAL
