Introduction A 50-something Brit, living near Calgary in Alberta, almost empty-nesters and currently enjoying the prospect! A next phase of life coming up perhaps. The blog has been sadly ignored, then resuscitated several times, and while I have every best intention, I may forget about it occasionally! I do not intend to offend or ridicule (well, OK, maybe sometimes) but just to throw some comments onto the screen and see if they stick. Welcome. And though my photos may not be world class, they are my photos so please don't reproduce them without permission - thanks. Please come and say "Hi" ...
Interests Growing stuff, singing, walking the dog, absorbing the beauty of sun rises and sunsets, working too hard and back at school to gain professional certifications, the next big project. Countdown to retirement?
Favorite Movies Three Billboard outside Ebbing Missouri, Calamity Jane, Brokeback Mountain, The Longest Ride, Mulan, Tangled, Bourne Identity, Memento, Legends of the Fall
Favorite Music Big choral classics, Rob Thomas, Imagine Dragons, Josh Groban, Ben Platt, tons of 80's stuff, but like lots of newer stuff too - no jazz though
Favorite Books Bel Canto, On Beauty, Remembering the Bones, Simon Kernick, Ken Follett, Lee Child, Jodi Picoult

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?

Why is a fly called a fly? Why isn't a beetle called a scuttle, or a fish called a swim?
