This is the view that I woke up to this morning. I have never claimed to have beautiful views but today it appears my house is now a prision. At 7am this morning they started on the other side of my street. Nothing like being woken up with banging and shouting. I think I need [...]

Today somebody said they knew I wasn’t very well, the moment I walked into the building, because she knows me so well. I was somewhat taken a back by the comment for two reasons. Firstly she knows I’m not very well, mainly because it was announced at Church weeks ago and what exactly is wrong with [...]
