Can anyone help me to identify the location of these pictures, please? They were taken several years ago, before geotagging. All I know is that they are in or around Madrid, possibly near Barajas. Many thanks in advance!
In favour of Assisted Suicide
Objectors of assisted suicide would like the laws against assisting suicide strengthened. They use arguments that belong in the Dark Ages and try to curtail personal freedoms with the excuse to “protect vulnerable people” and “saving souls”. Thankfully more people are now more enlightened and ready to assess those views in a more objective and […]
Is this normal?
Alex, my son, has always been very playful. Some people may call him mischievous. You know when people balance a cup of water over a door so that it splashes as you open the door? that would be his kind of prank. Although I love to see him happy, and I think being playful is a […]
Can you trust your vets? (A cautionary tale)
The obvious answer should be Yes! Veterinary is one of the caring professions, alongside with nursing and all varieties of medicine, human or animal. Practitioners of such professions are usually, by nature, caring people, who adhere to a code of conduct and are guided by strong ethics. When we have an injury or any health […]
Guess who………5
Fifth character. I am grateful for your comments! He is 55, but looks at least five years older, due to his prematurely wrinkly skin, and his enthusiasm for old, black and white movies of the 40s. He wears his “salt and pepper” hair cut very short, in a military style, but always very plain. His dress style […]

Here’s no. 4. Would love to know your opinions 🙂 She is in her forties. Built like a tank and with a face to match, she probably knows she is no beauty, but to compensate, she has “attitude”. Her hair is shoulder length, dark with a few greys, often greasy and she wears it in […]
Guess who……… 3
This is the third character. Opinions welcome! He will be 35 in two weeks time. He thinks he is too young to have to wait another five years before he can have a big party to celebrate one of those landmark birthdays ending in zero. He had an idea of what sort of party he […]
Guess who…….. 2
Here is the second of my proposed characters (please look at my previous post) She is about 19 or 20. Long, dark, shiny hair falls softly and naturally on her shoulders. She looks self consciously at her hands and from time to time she steals a furtive look around her. She is sat on a […]
Guess who…. 1
I am in the process of writing a novella. I have written a very brief outline of some characters and I would like to see the opinions of all you, published or unpublished authors out there! There are six characters and (hopefully) they will interact in the story. I would be very interested in your opinions: are these people […]
A comment about Sunday ramblings
I wrote this as a comment to a post from a friend of mine. He was using the simile of our primate brain as an iPhone1, trying to run IOS10 software: the 21 century culture, with its many advances in science, technology and human issues. As I understand it, he feels that we are demanding […]
