I have always loved swimming, and since I have started to suffer with AOSD, it has become all the more important to me. Right now I am not able to swim at all, but hopefully within a few days I will be swimming ten lengths, within couple of weeks I may get up...
I read quite a bit, mainly my RSS feeds and related web articles which I print so I am not tied to my computer all day. But I also read plenty of books and magazines. In the Categories Me\Books and Me\Magazines I have listed the most recent just in case...
Well the reason for my relapse again last week appears to be that I have a throat infection. White spots on my Tonsills and a sore throat and mild temperature being the evidence. As always whenever I get an infection the Stills symptoms come shooting back, but this time I...

I am pretty into popular science, and real science too if I had the time and the energy. Focus is the magazine that I read when I don’t have that much energy. Its a really nice glossy magazine full of intelligent science and gadgets. Its not too demanding, but then...
Without a doubt my best magazine, the quality of the reporting and the photo’s being second to none. The range of the subject matter is breathtaking and the depth of understanding of the jouralists is excellent. Even the adverts have that bit of class. Even better its small and easily...
