When remembering the past, and the way things used to be, one date has particular significance … 15th September. On that day in 2002 a man who had a huge influence in my life passed gently to another life. Extremely talented, always cheerful and willing to help his customers, well liked and highly respected Pharmacist Alf Dlugaj had managed a pharmacy in Ayr, and I had the great good fortune to have been his first, and only, apprentice.
We learn many things in life, from a range of different people and random events, and the course of our life is often changed in a manner completely unexpected, which was demonstrated in spectacular fashion by the way in which the life of our dearly loved Queen Elizabeth moved in new directions from carefree childhood to assuming the onerous duties which she willingly accepted and discharged so well as promised, all her life, whether it be long or short.
It is always interesting to remember how things used to be, but much more hazardous to attempt to anticipate the future.

Elon Musk is more than a billionaire tech mogul...he’s a disruptor, a visionary, and a relentless force of ambition transforming industries from electric cars to space travel. With roots in South Africa and a path carved by relentless risk-taking, Musk has turned early entrepreneurial success into a mission to reshape humanity’s future. Through companies like Tesla and SpaceX, he’s redefining what’s possible on Earth and beyond, pushing boundaries while sparking controversy and inspiring a generation. Love him or loathe him, Musk’s impact is undeniable, and his legacy may just be in the stars.
Elon Musk is one of the most influential and polarising figures in technology, business, and popular culture today. Born on 28th of June, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa, Musk’s journey from a tech-savvy child to a billionaire entrepreneur and innovator has reshaped industries ranging from electric vehicles to space travel. Known for his ambitious goals, unconventional approach, and often controversial public personna, Musk has become a household name, largely due to his work with companies like SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.
And of late, with his work with President elect Donald Trump.

In a surprise move, the local government of West Australian mining town Port Hedland is calling for immediate suspension of the Moderna and Pfizer Covid vaccines pending an investigation into evidence of excessive levels of synthetic DNA in the shots.
At a special meeting on 11 October, Port Hedland councillors voted five to two in favour of notifying all of Australia’s 537 local councils of the evidence of the DNA contamination in the vaccines, and associated risks.
“We are gravely concerned about the potential health risks posed by synthetic DNA contamination, including the dangers of genomic integration, cancer, hereditary defects and immune system disruption,” said the letter, a copy of which was sent to councillors around the country following the vote.
Letters were also sent to every health practitioner within the Port Hedland area strongly urging them to share this information with patients contemplating receiving any Pfizer or Moderna Covid modified-RNA (mod-RNA) vaccines.
