Today my father is NINETY YEARS OLD. Despite the MANY hospital trips due to falls and other stuff he’s made it this far. Fran & I are his full time carers as he lives with us since the start of the Covid lockdowns, which is why I’m not as ‘visible’ on the forums as I used to be...

Although I might be kinda quiet at the moment I’m still checking in daily. Life been throwing a few curveballs (or Random orbital decaying debris) my way. Nothing huge to be worried about just TIME CONSUMING. I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. OH. That Light!

Words fail me. I’ve been the recipient of some generosity in the past. Today...I’m kinda stunned as you can tell. Chris Wheeler

Yes that’s right I’ve finally managed to get my second book up on Amazon for Kindle. Same characters, different situations and this is all short stories. It’s taken nearly two years with re-writes, scrapped attempts and having to drop everything to go look after the ‘Disaster Monkey’ that my...

A little different from my usual “Bah Humbug” mentality. 2020 being the Dire year it has been, here’s a little Dragon to cheer you all up. PLEASE REMEMBER A DRAGON IS FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS. (Original art by Anne Stokes, coloured pencil by me.)

Well after having my Dad stay with us while shielding and lockdown for four months, he decided he wanted to go back to Newcastle. He managed a Fortnight before his 4th visit to hospital this year! (15th in the last 5 years) So that’s finally convinced him that he’s not managing on his own...

Just turned 64. So while visiting my dad this last weekend I wasn't sure if it was the Floorboards in his house creaking or my Knees. Watching woodworking YouTube videos has become fascinating. Finding that when I stand up after any length of time sat down, Gravity makes itself known to my...

Hi everyone; After Photobucket changed their sharing policy to charging an Arm and a leg a lot of images are getting ‘borked’ and coming being reported. Now I check as many as I can and try to contact the “owners” but not everyone is responding. So can you all have a check and make sure...
