I’m gradually transitioning to a more plant focused version of the Paleo diet, or perhaps it’s just easier to think of it as a wholefood diet. My evening meal is already heavily focused on green leafy vegetables, my lunch is nut’s seeds and toasted oats, my breakfast tends to be...
I’ve been patient, steadfastly waiting for an iPhone that felt like a real upgrade to my trusty 4S and the 6S finally convinced me. It’s a phone that has the power, RAM (2GB) and storage (128GB) to be a real travelling companion and boy is it fast. This year I...
Every 8 months I go to the dentist and hold my breath, I worry that I’m going to loose another tooth or that I’ve got some other serious problem. The last time I visited he told me my gums were receding and that I might need some kind of coating...
Mum went home today after another morning full of activity. We swam, relaxed, cycled, fuelled up at Lytham kitchen, walked around Park For You and along green drive and then back along the millionaires prom the green, before cycling home. My version of a triathlon, and I need a rest...

Yesterdays emotional turmoil was a little better today, each time I step down the meds I have a bad couple of days and then I stabilise again as I get used to the lower dosage. I’m currently opening the capsules and tapping out some of the power so that I’m...
