My godson’s mother reminded me Friday night that I had not posted a blog for some ten days. Let me pick up where I left off last time to continue my thoughts on Su. On Facebook, she calls herself “a home maker, cook, wife, daughter, bookworm, traveler, diver, skier, photographer, art lover.” She is being…
Shortly after 10am this morning, I dropped Su off around an MTR exit at Mei Foo so that she could take the Tuen Ma Line to Yuen Long from where she would catch a taxi to Tai Tong Shan Road to join her photography tutor on an outing with more students to the Sweet Gum…
I don’t mean D & G which would have meant the Italian luxury fashion house founded in 1985 in Milan. I mean democracy and governance, a weighty and serious subject but unfortunately often taken to mean and being interpreted as politics.

I had read an article on SCMP maybe a fortnight ago about the film, but I couldn’t recognize the names of the artistes, except Ann Hui and the author Eileen Chang. HKU Foundation…
My last blog was nearly 20 days ago. In between, I have been visiting hospitals and clinics a bit for regular maintenance, and I also took my new electric car to its first and only free maintenance. First, I had to make two additional trips to the Elderly Health Clinic, one for a blood test…

In line with a long established practice to post a blog on my website during bad weather, here we go again. I left off yesterday waiting for Su to return for dinner and was expecting a busy Saturday. Su returned just before 9pm after leaving instructions with Sam and the nurses. She had even picked…
I was by myself since maybe 9:30am today. We had a small party last night at home to mark the birthday of Mark who has taken to sailing recently, so that the other three friends were also sailing related, including Chris who became a keen sailor over ten years ago and bought a boat, Andrew…
