On Friday 11th October 2019, my Dad breathed his last breath. It’s the first time a member of my immediate family has fallen asleep in this way. It’s a sobering time of reflecting on what Dad meant to me and coming to grips with life after he’s gone. The massive consolation is hte knowledge that […]
Read More Goodnight Dad – A Dryden UpdateIt has been a couple of months since I last shared an update. Quite a bit has happened since then. The big news for us was a family trip to America. God made the way (and I really mean He made the way) for us to make the journey to the States. For four of […]
Read More September Season Starter – A Dryden UpdateYou ever played foot-golf? I didn’t even know there was such a sport until about a year or so ago. A couple who are also friends of ours had actually gone and enjoyed the activity. So recently my wife and I joined them in having a go at the leisure activity. I don’t boast about […]
Read More At The Half-Way Point: A Dryden UpdateJune is not a month of the Spring. In related information, day follows night.

Read More March Movements Without Forgetting February: A Dryden UpdateThis blog is not automated by robots. As yet I don’t think there is available technology to produce entries automatically and post them. From that you can be sage that I am still populating this blog with the updates its received. I’ve read a little bit here and there about how blogging is dead. I […]
Read More Change and Blogging: A Dryden UpdateI’m not fat. OK, I don’t think I’m fat. That’s an issue because my loved ones have certainly noticed something of a paunch developing around my tummy area.

Read More Get Into ShapeHave you been checking the time? When we were being taught how to tell the time way back at school we had the analogue clock and the digital clock.
