My grandfather joined the Navy when he was 14 years old in as a gunner in 1898 to fight the boers. As the youngest son, he wasn’t going to inherit the family tailoring business so he ran away to sea.
My father was the youngest of 4 separated almost to the day by 5 years as my grandfather had 5 year tours of duty.
Aged in his late 80’s and after the death of my grandmother, he came to stay with us around 1973/4 where he decided, despite being semi literate, to write a book of his life. I have the original manuscript and a copy transcribed digitally which I intend to publish.
He also painted the ships he served on. He painted one for me, which I lost, but my cousin still has this picture hanging on her toilet wall.

Wow! May we all aim to be as fuckin' cool as our grandfathers. Also, for some reason I can't zap you anymore Mike.
Interesting?
One other person said they couldn’t zap me a couple of days ago, yet I’m receiving and sending zaps.
I wonder if Alby have some issues?
I can zap others but when I click to zap you it just goes away after a second
Can you try sending Sats to:
mhardcastle@getalby.com
which is what
mike@mikehardcastle.com
routes to!
Managed to send Sats to you @john so your inbound is fine 👍
That worked when I did it through alby dashboard hmm
Received.
Okay, so somehow you’re not reading my nostr.json file from my website (I think)
Can you try again from your Alby dashboard to mike@mikehardcastle.com
🙏
That went through as well through dashboard.
Sounds like it might be a NOSTR client issue for you.
Can’t fetch invoice through Damus either.
