Streaming

 The uncertainty of the past month has drawn me to the diversion of online streaming 
I found a stream that centred its attentions to mature professional gay men and found myself chatting to men from all over the world, most over a McDonald’s Coffee and porridge breakfast.

Of course like any, internet phenomenon, there are idiots and predators there, but robust policing of the site and strict boundaries set by me, tend to eject the unwelcome before they can cause trouble or offence.
This morning I had a hilarious conversation with a Spanish Physiotherapist, a Fijian Emergency Room Doctor, a gentle IT specialist from Denmark and a wisecracking father of two from New Zealand.
With the 5 of us sharing a similar sense of humour, I laughed until I cried

The world isn’t that big after all

Ps this video and story moved me greatly

    I did watch the moving of Kiruna church live - it was Svt broadcast so it was in Swedish (don't think there was any English broadcast), VERY slowTV - over 16 hours. There is a huge mine underneath Kiruna, and they keep mining more and more. The whole project is to move the whole town! There is the bell tower still to be moved, but I don't think there would be live broadcast. This is a slow move, they've been planning it for eight years. So no for speedheads.

  6. Laughter, the best medicine!
    What a logistical feat that was. I bet there were a few sighs of relief at the end! xx

  7. When my son was first figuring out his sexuality, his gender identification, his place in this world, the internet was just coming to life. He was able to talk to so many people, still via the written word but so important. He was not the only one! He found a community! Many of his friends are still people he met in those early, early days. I am so grateful that it eased his struggle even the merest amount.
