What’s a piece of technology you’re convinced will exist in 20 years?

Information in a form that is accessible to everyone.A brain helping nano-technology that makes us all Einsteinian in our outlook.

We take it up by choice and trust and suddenly the world regains its ‘colour.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Which book have you read more than any other?

Look I shouldn’t be recommending books to

anyone,

My reading is sporadic and slow otherwise I

would get nothing done

I like to find out about things and love a good

story,

Don’t really like books that make me worry

The modern stuff I find quite a bore

Many of their ideas make me snore

I discovered HG Wells late in life 

Pleasantly surprised probably like his wife,

Mark Twain knew how to write,

Not all his ideas were to the right,

Herman Melville shone a light on nature ,

Moby Dick was such an adventure 

I do revisit books and will do so more

Not blood or guts or a great big saw

Stokers Dracula had style and subtlety

Imagine going to London to show off your

dentistry,

And Daphne de Maurier was not away with the

Birds

Hitchcock realised  she wrote wonderful words

There are so many classics yet to name

I’m sure you really feel the same,

One last word before I go

And that is my favourite  is Victor Hugo.

He was a titan of writing and socially aware,

His footsteps went where others wouldn’t dare.

Are you a lifelong learner?

Aren’t we all?

What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

I cling on to the hope,

That one day my life won’t be a trope,

An Internet Influence or a Google Ad,

To tell everyone that their life is bad,

I’d just like to share in a quiet way,

That I do deep breathing every day .

Namaste and Thank You for Reading 🙏

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

Some have it harder than others and that’s a fact

Some whinge and whine and it’s all an act

There’s never enough of anything,

They’re afraid when they hear the doorbell ring,

Was that me I really don’t know?

It all seems like such a very long time ago.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏

What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

A sequel or a prequel? The original is the key.Does the story merit further investigation.Is there more to tell?

Success means people want to read more, but it all depends, I’ve got to admit I like short stories and one off novels and the fact that I can trust the writer to tell me a good tale.

If the writer believes it requires a sequel(or prequel) then I’m in.

What villain actually had a good point?

Villainy is by nature tyranny

There was no one really called Robin Hood,

And he certainly never lived in a wood

The reality is the people will hope,

And trust  their lives do not turn into a soap ,

That they can raise their children without fear,

And do the things that they hold dear,

To honour Ronnie Biggs or Nigel Farage,

We  know they don’t  deserve homage,

The Media say what wonderful lads

Look they live in Rio and have wonderful pads!

Girlfriends galore and rich wives,

What does it matter if they ruined lives.

A gun ,a speech a reform here and there,

If you don’t fit in you better beware,

You’re not part of our club,

You don’t get the party DJ Dub,

You complain about the noise,

You’re definitely not one of the boys

Madonna’s ex made films about Gangsters who

were vile

Perhaps he felt they needed to improve their

profile

When you’re rich you get bored,

It’s nice to make heroes of those who carried a

sword,

Knives knuckle crunchers or acid in the face

Shucks, they were only fighting against the

establishment rat race,

They had had a hard time when they were

young,

They sang from a hymn sheet a different song ,

They lived by wit and counterfeit ,

But  they weren’t heroes I’m sure of it.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I will always live in my mind,the surroundings are irrelevant

There are external stimuli that make the mind work and problem solve continuously,so whatever is happening that is  where I will be.

Is a little chaos actually good for us?

A little chaos may be good for us

A string of events when we miss our bus,

The loose change that fell from our pocket

The irate expletives that left our mouths like a

rocket,

Finding a ten pound note on the street

Made our day  seem quite neat,

However,there is one proviso to this story,

I really  hope this doesn’t bore you ,

There are some who think it’s fun to tease

Who want to make everyone feel unease

Playing the fool  all pell mell

Saying everyone else can go to hell

In truth this behaviour can be quite tiring

Constant attention seeking is quite jarring

Namaste and Thank You for Reading 🙏
