My Dad is dying. I visited him, probably for the last time in his care home. He is 89 and has Alzheimer’s. It’s a relief, but also very sad. I shed a tear. The last time I visited him a week ago, he didn’t know who I was for the first time.

He had a great life, he built a public company, got an OBE from the queen and advised several prime ministers.

I haven’t posted this on other social platforms yet, not sure why. I think I feel freer to be myself here.

His name is Clifford Hardcastle OBE

This is him from a couple of years ago.

An underrated part of nostr:

When people REPOST something, you see it like 50x. For every person on your feed that reposted it.

Twitter and other apps you only see their retweet/share once.

It makes you actually notice something that is important (to your network).
