The New Normal?
Has the world really changed forever post-COVID-19? Not only are we being told it has we are also being told that the changes will remain forever. The phrase they use is “NEW NORMAL.” We’ve heard it for weeks, months and looks like if our ‘leaders’ have their way we will be hearing it a lot…
The Life Continuum
The Life Continuum Life isn’t like that. Life isn’t what you expect it to be and rarely becomes what you are told it’ll become. I am going to be an old dad or a dad again over the age of fifty. I love the idea. I learnt this. I sometimes learnt this the hard way.…
