I’m delighted to hear that Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor not New York City. The Muslim, democratic socialist believes in the dignity of all people. This is a massive victory for ‘woke’ views and values. How the experiment works in New York City will be fascinating. And how criminal Trump responds will be equally… Continue reading Zohran Mamdani-Mayor of New York City

Continuing the daily blogging commitment
I will have to consider carefully over the next few days the benefit of maintaining my daily blogging habit. Blogging daily for as long as I have has almost certainly fulfilled the original purpose of the exercise. Now I fear I am no longer deriving the benefit sought and there may be an element of… Continue reading Continuing the daily blogging commitment
Keeping this blog going
I keep a 5-year diary and am on year 2 now. The diary allows you pen a few lines-probably 5 maximum, or thereabouts-and each page has the 5 years on it so that when you are writing in it this evening I can see, at a glance, what I did on the same day 1… Continue reading Keeping this blog going
Blogging every day versus making a daily video
I have been thinking about the value of writing on this blog every day and considering whether I should be spending my time making a daily video instead.

Writing a blog post here every day, which is the first piece of work I do each day, forces me to review what has happened to me recently and see if there is something I have noticed or can share with an audience. So, I constantly wracking my mind to see what happened, what is… Continue reading The value in daily blogging
Storm Éowyn and taking a small win

So I made a dangerous trek to my office in Enfield despite trees being down everywhere to discover Enfield had no power either. So… Continue reading Storm Éowyn and taking a small win
Even if I am the only reader, it’s worth it
Even if nobody reads this post, or anything on this blog, I still get a great deal of benefit from maintaining it and keeping it going. I was considering yesterday whether I would quit or not. I was noting that the written word nowadays does not hold much sway online, and video is the way… Continue reading Even if I am the only reader, it’s worth it
Daily blogging-is it worth it in 2025?
I must consider, from time to time, whether my time spent writing on this blog is a good use of my time. Things have changed quite a good deal from a few short years ago when the written word online still had some power. Now, effective online marketing is all about video. Therefore, if one… Continue reading Daily blogging-is it worth it in 2025?
Daily blogging under constant review
When I started writing a blog post on this blog a few years ago it was with a view to becoming a better writer from the act of repetition and practice. Over time other benefits became apparent. For example, the act of writing something out and turning it over on a page with words helped… Continue reading Daily blogging under constant review
