Was this the Pope’s first “selfie?” One of the most memorable days at work for sure. Such an honour to have spent a special moment with these two men who devoted their lives to people and the planet.

Does nature have an algorithm and is it “listening?”
At Christmas I said, “I never see poinsettias in Kenya.”
Two months later, one has inexplicably popped up outside our house!

Welcomed 2025 with a serious bacterial infection probably from the FEW BITES of crab I had on the Kenyan coast from a very reputable (and not cheap) place.

Really enjoying this @bondisands.bsky.social sunscreen. Zero smell. Zero stickiness. It works well in the East African sun.
