Although many flat-dwellers are not blessed with lovely views from their windows, My Midnight Man and I are blessed with having a balcony and a lounge window that provides us with a view to a large park. If you’ve been reading my blogs for a while, you will know this. However, I wish I …
On 15th September, I kept my appointment with a nephrologist. As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, the doctor confirmed that all the blood and urine tests came out clear and then confirmed to me that the tremors, fatigue, anxiety, muscle weakness and other symptoms have nothing to do with my kidney function. To be honest, …
What do you get when you mix a bit of laziness, a bit of pre-occupation, a bit of busyness, a bit of fatigue and days that follow each other too quickly? It’s more like what one doesn’t get—a blog posting! But with the kind and strong encouragement, mixed with some very gentle chastisement, from …

My friend, B., sent me a link for an article written by a Canadian for a Orange County, Californian newspaper. http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/london-311857-want-book.html He asked me to read the article, and then comment. I do invite you to read this article before reading my blog…to give you an idea as to what I’m replying to. …
A gentle rain is now falling. By the time I post this, the showers will probably have stopped. It’s overcast today, with showers expected off and on all day. As for me, well, I’m trying to make some decisions about what to do next. I’ve finally gotten back to writing on my Book …
