Lego Batman does not get to go on outings with my 3 year old anymore. I now add a disclaimer - the outings… Continue reading The continuing saga of Lego Batman

The heart remembers…
...what the mind does not It's a story currently doing the rounds on social media. A story of a man in his eighties who has alzheimers. Memories have gone. The mind can no longer remember. But what this story shows is that while the mind can no longer remember, the heart does not forget. One… Continue reading The heart remembers…
Hope Hurts

If the humidity and heaviness of the air wasn't bad enough my room was also invaded by a powerful fiend....the mosquito.Having stirred, my ears registered the faint hum of the mosquito which got louder as it neared me.
