Checking out the bit between departure and arrival. I hope I never get there.
This is a journal more than a blog.
Very self-centred. It is written for some future me. I am not looking for a following. You may read it. Please comment, but please don't judge. I write about what interests me, concerns me, and a bit about what happens to me. I hope some of it interests or entertains you.I should probably have titled this blog "Shit Happens". Because it does.
Sometimes I quote a song or some poetry, either just because I really like it, or because it expresses something I cannot put as eloquently into my own words. Occasionally i am brave enough to publish one of my own.

A Ray of Hope…
I have been a little down again lately. For starters, there seems to be no progress with my arm. It is no better now than before the operation. I’d have thought that there would be some sign of improvement by … Continue reading
I Wept for a Frightened little Girl.
