The weather was cooler and the month was long but busy. There were lots of events and gatherings planned, in spite of the cold weather. The month kicked off celebrating a wonderful boy turning 18. Having seen him grow to be a handsome young man has been a privilege and it was apt to have…

Books – Q2 2026
In the last quarter, my reading suffered a bit and I did not read as any books as I usually do. But I did read some notable ones and they definitely stayed with me. I attended the Sydney’s Writers Fest in May for the first time. Surrounded by writers and books was my idea of…
