TESTAMENT

This is Opvscvla, the Soul and Small Work of a Small Hominid.

As a minimum I will complete

An Online Presence

A website called OPVSCVLA principally containing my creative work including publishable parts of my autobiographical scrapbook (entitled 71) or links thereto and other interests.

An ongoing Blog with occasional contributions from my alter egos Rafe Beedeeeye and Godfree Finker at Spindriftpages - Blog which will be mainly used to report updates to the website.

Sullen - A collection of writing in a poetic style, book form (a continuous project)

I am 71 years of age and I have chosen these things to guide my efforts and define the remainder of my life. I thus restrain and contain myself because I have already had a life worth living. I have often been unhappy but never, never for one smallest thought or moment, have I been either discontented with my lot or out of love with my wife.


I make no recommendations but these:-

Above all love yourself, be yourself!
Love all the other animals and respect their rights!
Demand the same in return!
Fight for these things your whole life!

Beethovens String Quartet Opus 130!
Kind of Blue by Miles Davis!


This is my life and I love it. I wish myself luck to see it through as I would hope.
