Decent British guy, way over 18, PhD chemist, professional scientist, published hobby writer (mostly erotica), keen photographer. Co-carer of a delightful dog and two beautiful horses. Pro-humanity, pro-rationalism, happily agnostic.
Very broad-minded, supportive of other's life choices, tastes, hopes and dreams.
Sure we learn more by being open to new things.
Unenthusiastic about all forms of political stupidity and extremism.
Despair of humanity growing up in time to save ourselves.

If a book is part of Kindle Unlimited, it is NOT free; not any more "free" than something you watch as part your streaming service subscription.

Marketing a KU title as part of "FREE" promotions is utter bullshit.

Finlay is 6 today. As a treat, I let him recycle an Amazon box into papier-mache and shreds... He did get a toy as well, but he always wants to destroy boxes.

The footbridge which makes access to Tintagel Castle far easier and less of a strain on the legs! Also gives nice views of the sea and coast. The original steps are still there if you prefer... I took this photo from the steps.

A window in the Great Hall in Cotehele, a 16th century historic building in SW England. Below it is a long wooden table set with pewter plates and tankards

    @RememberUsAlways Worth suggesting that "race" is legally defined in objective scientific terms, including the proportion of specific, demonstrated genetic contributions required to define an individual's ethnicity in an agreed way.

    A quick, maybe not, a story

    My mum had had enough of my brother's violence, damaging things and beating me and he did hit mum too ... So after many interventions by family and even a school headmaster of our primary school, police, and the education system. Mum decided that one of those boot camps for children that deals with issues with violence for young adults ... It needs "both" parents to sign a consent form ... This is where it went pear shaped

    My brother's father {same as mine} wouldn't sign anything, threaten legal action, rang mum's parents and sisters and gave them a hard time ... So finally after months and months of his anger towards them and mum she gave in, under one condition that he {father} would help, by spending time and even have my brother move in with him ... As you all may guess, this never happened ... Who would have thought that

    So, at the same time I wanted to come out, I was just 13 ... I didn't, why? ... I didn't want my mother or her family to get the wrath from the beast about raising a sissy

    Thanks for reading ... Hugz

    Today is the start of a new phase in my life.
    I woke up without a father.
    He drifted away peacefully in his sleep early on Tuesday.

    I’m not completely useless.

    I’m an excellent bad example.
