Blog Post #9: Beauty
Dear Readers,
In Blog Post #7, I left you with a super-sizzling summer brainteaser to enjoy tussling with during the month of July, as I didn’t expect to be writing more here before August. However, after seeing a very interesting new film entitled “2:22” at the cinema last night, and then waking up this morning with a fresh, fun “discovery” in my mind, I decided to share it quickly. Please do have fun with it, too!

Dear Readers,
This is just a small tribute to an extremely kind lady who was my boss for nine years, and is being shared with her family’s approval. Just four days ago, I learned that Johanna Bambridge, my wonderful former Elementary School Principal (from 2005-2014) at St. John’s International School, Waterloo, had died on the previous day, 6 July 2017, at the age of 65. Johanna’s family have been very moved by tributes from hundreds of caring friends, showing how greatly Johanna is loved.

Dear Readers,
It was 50 years ago as a young boy that I started attending St. Andrew’s RC Primary School in Dundee in 1967. I was delighted to be going to a great school named after the patron saint of Scotland and of fishermen. Continue reading “Blog Post #5: St. Andrew”
Blog Post #4: Angels
Dear Readers,
Just this week, a lovely friend said, “If I could pick my angels, you would be one of them.” What a wonderful thing for her to say; for me, simply unforgettable.
