| Introduction | Why am I blogging? I have decided that I would like to share my stories about the places I have been since I did my first trip in 1963 to countries beyond the borders of South Africa, where I was born. I have also devoted my life to my chosen profession, pharmacy. I was very active in the professional bodies representing pharmacy in South Africa and I still take an active interest in what happens in the profession. I am also very interested in the history of pharmacy in South Africa and it concerns me that younger members of the profession are not aware of what has been achieved over the years by pharmacists who are no longer here, and who would probably also be perturbed about what is happening in this profession to which they were also devoted. I have written articles which have been published in the South African Pharmaceutical Journal, but these articles, some of which are contentious, are not reaching a wide audience, as the people they really are aimed at are not members of the professional bodies. I am hoping that if my opinion pieces appear in a blog, they will be read by those who are not members of their professional bodies. |

If your whole body were a hot air balloon, would you stop eating spicy food?
I did not expect this random stupid question which I am not prepared to answer.
