Mike’s Blog

I am a male as my name states divorced and above retirement age but still working.

Most of my adult life I have worked in the electronics manufacturing industry and over the years been in many positions as a manager .In these positions I have traveled throughout Europe and many places in the Far East ,the main place there was Singapore and I still regard Singapore as a second home as I have so many friends there that I have met over the years and still keep in touch with.

The company I worked for decided last year that they did not want to continue to employ older staff and after working there for over 40 years left in March 06.

Also over the past 12 years I have also worked weekends in restaurants .This all started when my Daughter in laws Mother(of Italian origin ) needed kitchen help, since then I have continued to work weekends in various places all Italian .I have been working at the current restaurant Villa Romana in Fareham Hampshire for nearly 6 years and when I lost my main employment they offered me 3/4 working days per week this suited me ok as I have many other interest in life and also this pays for extras that I will explain later in my blog

I have two grownup Sons The eldest Steven lives in Melbourne he emigrated six years ago .I have visited him last year and will also visit this year .I find Melbourne very European and could easily live there . My second Son Lives close in Portsmouth and he has two children Danial is the eldest and Carla. His wife Ange as I have stated earlier has Italian origins and has classic Italian good looks . I visit them most weeks but do not interfere with there lives in any way.

My interest are very wide I like all art and visits London regularly to see exhibitions .I also like architecture (over the past years I have shown visitors to the UK my version of London all walking starting in Piccadilly Circus and ending at the Tower of London during this walk I can show all the main sites and by walking you can see more details and over the years I have gained knowledge of odd bits of history ) my other interest are running (not long distance nowadays )keeping fit ,IT and gardening and going to the beach in the Summer I usually swim from April/May to October/November depending on the weather.

I want to add little stories about the people in my life I hope someone will find them interesting.I have over the years met people that everyday are very ordinary but has contributed so much to life.
