Lately, every time I go out doors, the extent of fresh growth every where I look is becoming overwhelming. All the rain we have had lately has triggered an immense growth spurt. All of my bonsai are almost unrecognisable, and the garden is a jungle. I feel so helpless, looking at it all, knowing there…

For a long time now, I have been searching my barely functioning brain for any inspiration that always used to be lurking in there somewhere. This may or not be a good idea, as the pressure in my head gets worse every day, but it’s what I need to find, so it will just have…

I just spent a very confusing hour with the WP AI assistant.’They can sometimes be helpful with sorting out complicated problems, but on occasion, they don’t seem to know any more than I do. I used them last week in desperation, to change the layout of a page, and they followed my…

I almost deleted our website yesterday, as I was so tired of the endless struggling and getting nowhere. I knew something had to give, and thought it would be me. Still could be me, I suppose. I was quite prepared to struggle on, trying to make everything work, but sadly, this doesn’t seem…

can old age be beautiful? Another week is coming to an end, and once again, I am no nearer sorting my life out. I am trying, but somehow, I get thwarted at every turn. The only thing I seem to be good at, is my daily physio, which is at least keeping me mobile. I…

Early last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had the idea to update our website. You may remember that it didn’t go well, and our website was a bit of a mess for a while. A lot has happened since then, but just recently, that old annoyance has made another appearance. You…

I had a strong desire to walk around Petersfield Pond today. It was the perfect day to see what Mother Nature was doing. But no available transport, sigh. I would just have to look through my photographs of a previous visit. I thought I could stagger out to the garden, not quite the same thing,…

I wanted to be silent today too, as I didn’t want to share bad news anymore. I have been trying to relax, do what I can manage, pottering around at my own speed, which these days, is snail’s pace. I am terrified of falling again, and although I make sure to move slowly, there are…

I have never liked waiting, so faced with yet another wait, I am more confused than ever. Half of me would love to have a good think, to sort out the muddle in my head. And to be honest, I have tried to think it out. But whatever is going on inside my head, it…

I didn’t think my life could get any worse, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Since I collapsed, semi-paralysed last March, I have often wondered why that happened and why I had suddenly become so weak. Despite my colourful medical history, I have always managed to bounce back from some of the worst health…
