It's been a while since my last post. I have 3 babies, a few jobs and it's been challenging and very rewarding at the same time.
But what I have missed also is sharing my opinions on various topics, some just random but issues that both excite and some rather unsettling.
In the next few day I will be blogging on issues that have affected me both positively and negatively.
Since my last blog, we have Donald Trump for USA, Emerson Munangagwa for Zimbabwe, Teresa May with Brexit, Telsa in space, Federa is still King on the court.
Keep an eye.

Man's achievements one of many.
Image From: Link |
Most of us live in metropolitan cities nowadays and I for one at times take things for granted. At times I have to take a second and think how did I get from home to work or going about my daily business, how does the gas, Electricity, water, get to my house, and just wonder how things work. most of the time it does not matter to me as long as I have all these services working but on the other hand I am not that ignorant, I am a bit inquisitive. I must say one of the greatest achievements man has improved is Tunnelling.

Next time when you walk around your neighbourhood, town or city take a moment to think about what makes things work, you will be amazed at what you will find and what you take for granted !!!!!

The Iron Lady Dies
She was the Iron Lady. Why? It’s not surprising given that she was forced to work with the male chauvinistic mentality of the 70’s and 80’s in both her own government and around the world. She had to belt up in order to run things and make changes, whether they were large or small. Most people have no idea how tough it is to work with an all male dominated workplace, let alone set off the political change that she managed to. I must say I admired her tenacity and her resolve and she will be sorely missed by most.
Below are some of a dew leaders who had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of her iron fist:

May she rest in peace. and may God Bless her.

Life Through My Eyes
Image From Link |
Anyway back to the business end of things. I am a member of EyeEm, a free photo sharing and discovery community. Besides just sharing photos online, we do EyeEm meetups when we get together, take long photowalks and hang out through our various cities. It's also a great time to meet your online friends in person. I went to my first EyeEm meetup in London last year and it was great, I can't wait for the next one.

Take a look to see a few (of the hundreds) of photos I snap on the daily - I really do take too many :)
If you would like to use any of my pictures for honourable purposes, please feel free to ask. I hope you enjoy them as much I do.
EyeEm rocks!

Going Organic
My Herbs. |
Sun Flower for my sunflower seeds and its beauty. |
Overview of my Garden |
Few Plums on the tree. |
A closer look at the Spinach and Peas. |
Sweet potato and Salad plants. |
Oh, and what are the health/nutrition benefits anyway?
I know, I know, no pesticides. And after a bit of reading, I learned that organic produce has up to 30% more antioxidants, which promote immune and heart health. I could do with some of that, which is why I've decided to take matters into my own hands.
This year I'm going all self-sufficient. I haven't got much room in the garden but I'll cram as many crops as I can into little space I've got. I'm almost a month into my project so I just thought I'd show all you garden lovers how I'm getting on.
Below are few pictures of my best flowers.
Anyone else got any garden projects they're undertaking for the summer? I'd love to see!

The Diamond Lady
Image from: here |
The 2nd of June 2012 marked Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee, 60 years of the Queen's reign over the United Kingdom.
I know you know who I'm talking about. In this day and age, I'm pretty sure there isn't a person on this earth that wouldn't recognise that profile. Yes, this one.
Image from: here |
I won't lie to you. I was no royal enthusiast. After all, in a world of democratically elected prime ministers and presidents, who needs kings and queens, right? I would have gladly praised Thatcher over the Queen. Sure, her politics are debatable but no one could argue that she ruled with an iron fist!
But like a lot of people, there was one royal who I couldn't help but fall in love with. Yes I'm a guy, but I'm not ashamed to admit that I fell for her just as hard as the rest of the world. How could you not? And like everyone else, I suppose it was through her story that I grew to sympathise with the royals. Where I'd imagined an easy life of thrones and crowns and wealth, I realised the price at which it all came: a life in the public eye.

It's clear that Kate's gonna follow in their footsteps: beauty, class, intelligence, philanthropy - let's just hope she has a better time of it!

Getting back to the point I was making before that massive tangent - the Diamond Jubilee! In times of hardship like these (is there anyone's arse the recession isn't kicking?!), it's nice that on that day, 2nd June, everyone had a reason to celebrate - whether it was the Queen's 60 year reign, a much deserved day off work or an excuse to crack open a pint!
For those of you who've been under a rock for the last week - you can catch up with the Jubilee on BBC iPlayer but hurry 'cause they usually only keep programs on for 30 days. If you're in the UK, you can pick up the Daily Mail on the weekend; they're giving away six DVDs on the Queen and the Jubilee free with every paper.
What do you lot think? Are you fans of the royals?
