This wee pop started school yesterday. Here are a couple of my first cuddles not long after she was born. Where did all that time go? She looks so grown up in her uniform! She was sooooo exc...

I've had a pretty rough month. Turns out I haven't got the medication sussed after all. The doc did prescribe me 14 Diazepam 2mg tablets and made it clear I wouldn't get any more. Given that I...

Monday 24th April 2017 I’ve drafted and redrafted this entry sooooo many times but not been well enough to finish it then when I come back to it it’s always completely out of date! So I’m on a mi...

Whilst searching for the film 'Iris' about Iris Murdoch the other day, I came across a documentary about Iris Apfel instead. I was captivated. Not just by the fact that at 90 (when the doc was ...

I don't really have an awful lot to report on the health front. I'm still recovering from the relapse and a bit worried that it's taking so long but as each week passes I get a little stronger. ...

I'm still not right but I'm starting to feel a lot better than I was. Most of last week was spent in bed. This week has panned out thus: Thursday - in bed all day. Up at teatime because Ian (o...

Luckily I had an appointment booked with one of the doctors at our local surgery yesterday morning. But the reason I had booked it was ridiculous. I see another doctor, an Addictions Doctor, ev...
