Ironically,
Todays rememberance day in UK is seeing hopefully a peaceful protest taking place in London with regard to the Israeli - Gaza situation.
While the on going War between Ukraine- Russia has taken a back step on the news channels recently, yet people are continuing to die there too.
Remembrance of those who lost their lives during the two World Wars is respectful, but it is with prayerful hope that these present day conflicts will eventually end in the Peace that we all would like to see.......JB

- Thread: Tropika in Zambo
Nice little restaurant/bar close to the Thalatta Resort in Zamboanguita. Burgers - tell them what you want on it. I had a take out Padthai noodle dish with chicken and shrimp, very good. Nice menu.

Had a nasty experience this week, had booked flights for this April through them back in January, got an email saying two of my booked flights were cancelled but they could help me out if I was willing to pay double. One of those flights wasn't even actually cancelled, so probably overbooked and throwing out the customers with the cheapest tickets lol.
Obviously no way I'm going to pay more than I already did to correct something that should be on the airline to correct free of charge, so I cancelled the whole thing through kiwi and applied for a refund (which I am pretty sure won't happen).
I booked again through a different channel but because it's much closer to the departure date I had to pay through the nose anyway to get replacement tickets.
Anyway, lesson learned, I will henceforth study the conditions page better when booking through an agent, and not book through kiwidotcom again ever.-

Silence is a powerful tool
It can work for you or against you,
Michaelangelo is quoted in todays "UCB Word for Today", as a visionary when he picked up a piece of marble, what one person saw as worthless he saw differently.
So long as people are silent or silenced, change will never come about.
"The pen is mightier than the sword" and a more peaceful means.
In 2023 we will have choices, it will come down to, are we willing to pay the price?
My hope for 2023 is that we will see Peace return to this troubled world.
May we all have a year that sees the changes we would like to see.......JB-
