However, Recently, a family member was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Some mothers do ‘ave ’em
It’s been a while since my last post & for that I apologise. It’s been a mentally draining few weeks. Family and friends are now pretty much all aware of my conditions and for the most part, people have been ace. Although.. there are sometimes, when people just don’t get it. It’s even more sadContinue reading “Some mothers do ‘ave ’em”
Keeping out of trouble.
Today (or at least this week) I have been reminded how easy it is fo become distracted by other things and to feel unproductive as a result. You may recall me sharing about the m3 Lee. A complete top to bottom inside and out restoration in 9 months. It’s almost sickening to see the resultContinue reading “Keeping out of trouble.”
Just the tonic.
As you maybe aware by now, there are some aspects of living with mnd that are copeable and some that I (personally) struggle with. Cramps have been a major problem for me for many weeks. The simple explanation is that my muscles that are wasted struggle to retain oxygen in the tissue, so when theyContinue reading “Just the tonic.”
You know…
I’m a huge fan of my physiotherapy. I think it helps no end – if for nothing else but to keep my joints and muscles moving. I am (at the moment) of the opinion that I need to keep us a level of physical activity otherwise I might deteriorate quickly. You know.. the fighting spiritContinue reading “You know…”

On Saturday, I met a customer who I took into the tank for an experience with his grandson. A lovely family and they both had a great time with me. Whilst chatting, he impressed upon me how he could tell I loved my job. It turned out that he had recently been diagnosed (for theContinue reading “one step at a time!”
Is it ok?
Is it ok to feel low and not know exactly why? Over the last few days things have (sometimes) made me feel low. It’s not quite depression, it’s more complicated than that. I’ve had to start drinking tonic water to help with my cramps. No big deal I know, however it tastes like shit. OnContinue reading “Is it ok?”
Zero Foxtrot Golf
This bank holiday, I have been yet again chilling with my best friends. A couple of times a year, the show season attracts us to showcase some of the big green armoured things that we work with to the general public. Often, this includes driving them around and demonstrating their capabilities and generally showing off.Continue reading “Zero Foxtrot Golf”
Regrets
Think about the statement “do you have any regrets in life?” We all mostly have at least one, maybe even a few instances where we feel we could have done something differently or not done something at all. Usually they are our well publicised mistakes, our fuck ups that we’re really wanting to forget. ButContinue reading “Regrets”
