This blog was started many years ago when I had a lot of time on my hands due to a sports injury, and then abandoned. I have subsequently added posts at random intervals since my retirement in 2017. The posts are listed in reverse chronological order from latest to earliest.
For information about me, the creator of this blog and all its posts, click Webmaster.
The first post, practice what you teach at the foot of the listing, has more information about the genesis of the blog.
