Hello dear readers!
I’m Baa-aaack!!
Yes, after a considerable amount of quiet time your friendly neighbourhood seated person is back at his laptop, ready to entertain and enlighten. Sorry about that.
So, what, you may ask, is the reason for this recent radio silence? Well, to tell the truth, although it would be easy to blame medical grounds, and to a degree it would be a well deserved accusation, that would not be giving you the full story. It's a story of pain, of anguish... and more than a little red wine.

To End All Wars
Hello dear readers!
Sometimes it’s tricky to find something to write about on any given Sunday. Sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes life has been eventful, or vexatious enough to provide a choice of material.
Today though, on the 11th day of the 11th month, there really is only one subject that can possibly do.

Turkish Delight
Hello dear readers!
Yes I am back! The wanderer returns. The boy is well and truly back in town.
But back from where? You may ask (If you didn’t read the last blog post you might, anyway). Well back from holiday. Back from a week in the last of the Turkish sun. A week of rest, relaxation, and maybe a light spot of overindulgence.
Unsurprisingly, said holiday is the subject matter of today’s most humble offering.

Breaking Glad
Hello dear readers!
The waiting is very nearly over. The time is almost upon us.
What time? Why the time for myself and the increasingly long suffering Mrs to forget all of life’s minor annoyances, to put aside the ups and downs of every day living and immerse ourselves in total and utter relaxation, to calm body and mind, and let go. No, I’m not talking about some new-age, hippy-dippy stuff. No joss sticks, immersion tanks, or even a hint of getting back to nature will be required for this particular de-stressing therapy. No, it's much more exciting than any of that.
We're going on holiday!

Kicking The Habit
Hello dear readers!
You join me today in a veritable whirlwind of barely controllable excitement.
There are reasons for this, very normal, and entirely relatable reasons, on the whole. Reasons that could well provide the meat, and possibly the drink of future instalments of this epic epistle to the masses (or at least the unlucky individuals) and upon which I will expand a little later. First of all though, I would like to spend a little time explaining a less obvious reason for my somewhat giddy demeanour.
After a short period of soul searching, I’ve finally kicked the habit.

Green Shoots
Hello dear readers!
And welcome to what I am going to start to refer to as my bi-weekly blog.
Yes, that’s right, I a have decided to take a little pity on you and limit these banal little episodes of my life to a fortnightly affair. The reason for this is less to do with MS related fatigue issues (although they are a little bit of a factor), and more to do with the fact that life, the odd little hiccup aside, has settled down to the point that I sometimes struggle for subject matter.
I know, shocking isn’t it?
Luckily for you, this week, well this week has been far from settled.

Garden Variety
Hello dear readers!
Isn’t the outdoors great?
Isn’t the outdoors great?
Not all the time of course. Not when it’s tipping it down with rain, sleet, snow, or Ming the Merciless’ hot hail for instance. No definitely not then. With the weather set unusually fair for the temperate shores of Blighty, however, it is most definitely well above average.
If only we had a garden to enjoy.
