I would like to keep this post as purely MS related ranting then people can read or avoid as they like . You have been warned. The MS war. I have started to do a set of exercises to help with my strength and balance which is pretty shocking at the moment. I have a new neuro physio who seems pretty good. So I start with just standing for 1… Read More »MS war

Great news I am going on a fishing holiday with some very good friends it’s at a place I have been to twice before. It’s very comfortable to know that it’s going to be great whatever the weather etc because we always have a laugh no matter what. I find it easier to do something which I have done before because I know that I coped with everything well and… Read More »Fishing Trip
This is a bit heavy so I have kept it to myself for a while.

Recently my father past away .He didn’t have a religious ceremony and I feel that when my time comes I would like the same. He was… Read More »Life and Hope
I started painting this morning and although results are not brilliant I really enjoyed it. I used acrylic, however I am still not sure if I want to go back to oil . Acrylic dries quickly and is water based so easier to deal with but there is something about painting with oil that is more satisfying . Maybe I will do the same exercise but with oil and compare… Read More »Painting ,Travel and Fitness.

It appears as it always seems to that the amount of things to do is mounting and filling up any spare time before we leave. Nearly ready . Chair in the… Read More »French Diary
I have been having a few different sets of dreams over the last few years. When I first had my bad relapse which stopped me running and also slowed down my walking I used to have dreams where I could run again. Then my MS got worse and I had dreams where I could walk normally again. Now, after some years I have dreams where I can’t walk very well… Read More »Regarding Dreams

I went fishing with a mate of mine on the river , we caught very little but had a good time. Then I started to find out a bit more about it and we started to catch a few small Rudd on floats , this was… Read More »Fishing Bug
I went into town yesterday and took my camera and had a great day. Funny how things can change. Very impressed with the Nikon Z6 ii . Full frame does make a difference compared to DX. I also had a look at some pictures I took in the garden the other day at dusk. Unbelievable : 200mm , 25600 iso, 1/8 second and got a pretty reasonable picture, it was… Read More »A Good Day in Stratford
Ok, So this morning I am going into town , taking my powered wheelchair, camera (Nikon Z6 ii) and get around and about. Get my hair cut. It’s often a good feeling 24 hrs later and I feel good about things again and optimistic. It’s a bit of a dull day, so not great for photography but I will give it a go. We are off to France in a… Read More »Getting up again
