A new year; a new diary

One of the reasons why blogging comes quite naturally to me is that I’ve kept a daily diary for decades. In fact, I have an entry for every day for the last 46 years – that’s some 16,800 entries. Of course, today I start my 47th diary.
Now my diary and this blog are very different. Essentially my diary is a comprehensive record of my life and full of personal details. This blog picks out certain subjects or events of wider interest and I don’t reveal really personal information about me, my family, or my friends.
Hopefully though, you’ll find the blog interesting enough to keep visiting. I aim for an entry a day and the intention is to present a global look at the world in a liberal and positive frame of mind.
