Loving Life
Plato said ‘Only the dead have seen the end of the war.’ I can see the storm clouds on the horizon, war is just around the corner. Lets spell it out, Ukraine and Russia are at each others throats, with Russia massing troops now on Europes and NATO’s boarder near Finland. Will Nato come to […]
Continue ReadingLife is an interesting journey. It knocks you down, and you have to drag yourself up again. I have had a few health issues lately with a kidney stone. I am up to stint number two and it has been unpleasant to say the least. I have been feeling really low and unhappy about the […]
Continue ReadingIt is a slow march to decay. Well thats what it feels like. I feel pretty done at the moment two surgerys in the last month and a half and another one soon. Who would have thought a tiny kidney stone would have caused so much grief, but it has. Health is everything, if your […]

Continue ReadingWell, that wasn’t a simple keyhole, 8 days less 18 hours of hospital admission, 6 days of fasting and 2 operations. I was prepared to have an open but I was not prepared for what happened. I had fasted from midnight on Sunday for a Monday operation, but 45 minutes before I left for the […]
Continue ReadingSo I am two days out from my surgery to remove my gallbladder. It is surreal. I might finally be rid of the pain of gallbladder attacks. I have been quite anxious about this for a few weeks, but that is me. I overthink stuff and I think I have been that way all my […]
