  Post 515: Too much for me at the writing club.

  Post 515: Too much for me at the writing club. A new printing cartridge and a new folder had me busy making an other 50 hard copies of the blog: binder 6, blogs 250-299. I’m getting there as I’m over half way through and I’m happy...

  Post 514: Two kids a dog and a bump.

  Post 514: Two kids a dog and a bump. I couldn’t carry on with my office work at home this morning for two reasons and the best reason was that I wanted to rest. It’s something when you actually want to do something but a health problem s...

  I had SABR treatment that ended five weeks ago. I would like to report, for the benefit of people looking forward to this, that the side effects have been pretty much as predicted in terms of the nature, severity, and duration. The most noticeable on...
