This day in 1962 I joined the Police. Just turned 16, voice hardly broken, not fully shaving - a child. Over the next 39 years I had adventures, experiences and saw things which no one should see. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. All those moments will be lost in time....

Approaching the same birthday as felon Trump a couple of weeks after him. This is what I do most days to make sure that I outlive him and get to see him in prison and then see the day when Champagne corks pop and there is dancing in the streets

Setting out my vegetable garden using binder twine from the farm when we used to use a binder (mower) which cut and tied up sheaves of corn. This twine is at least 70 years old

Played about my 56th annual Easter Sunday game of football for Laxey AFC against Liverpool Collegiate. Only did twenty minutes or so and came off to give a game for players around 64 years younger than me. You need to encourage the youngsters....

The rain has relented! First ride of 2026 to volunteer shift at Citizens’ Advice where we heard of the unrelenting ‘rain’ in the lives of other people. Today included divorce, bullying at work and poverty

The damage to the sea wall after yesterday's thundering high tide and winds on my way to the volunteer shift at Citizens' Advice. Problems today include- yet another example of poor property management; then the reverse. possible tenant taking advantage of landlord; dispute over ownership of lane

The walk to work my volunteer shift at Citizens' Advice with the wind to my back Dealt with grave robbers, disabled people falling through the benefit cracks, incompetent property managers and the loneliness of the short distance runner.
