Although these pages contain much of a philosophical and literary nature, this is a very personal page consisting of my own writings. There is much here of what could be described as experiential solipsistical preoccupation, but as much of the contents are diary extracts it is difficult to see how this could have been avoided. This site is a deceptively large one with a myriad of proliferating, bifurcating sections which the internal search engine for the convenience of visitors soon confirms. There's a florilegium of reminiscences about my family, friends, jobs, my army life, businesses, my experiences and my opinions about the world as I look back after a long life.
