My later mother, a ‘white’ Russian born in Moscow, lost her father and was a refugee with her mother from the revolution in 1917. Arriving first in London with a suitcase each, they travelled by steamer to Shanghai to set up a new life, until the Japanese occupation in WW2. 1/3

Like all civilised humans, she’d be appalled by the unfolding disaster in Ukraine; she would identify with the horror of families parted forever; empathise with the new generation of refugees being created; and stand with all Ukrainians. 2/3

And she would shudder in disbelief that Russia is once again devastated by a tyrant; and the world is beset by regimes that care nothing for humanity, only for the brutal exercise of power. In more than a century, she would wonder … what exactly have we learned? 3/3

#OnThisDay 1844 Royal Navy directed that Larboard be replaced by the word Port to refer to the left side of a ship. Larboard came from ladeboard (loading) which was usually done on the left as the steering oar or 'Steerboard' was on the right, later and still known as Starboard.

Bearish. Bullish. Whatever-ish. You’re welcome here. Join the club, genius.

Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.
