It is now 40 months or so since my stroke and I am determined to up my game over the coming months.

Two new projects I am working upon

Zadar - a CD of music, songs and stories inspired by the Sea Organ in the Croatian town of Zadar.

Life Coaching by cats - a book of drawings demonstrating the wisdom of cats.

I am also preparing a bid to get some arts funding in order to pay musicans to perform at shows.

I am also developing in my mind a play provisionaly called A...

I was fortunate to see a video article by Dr Anna Kuppaswarmy about her research into stroke recovery fatigue.

Everyone has told me that fatigue is a key element of stroke recovery although no-one explained why.

I thought it was probably to do with the mental effort of consciously undertaking previously automated actions.

However Dr Kuppaswamy had done some very significant research and has been able to prove that it was not the mental effort of actions that causes fatigue, ...

I've just taken possession of proof copies of my new book Snapshots of A Stroke Recovery. It is a complete rewrite of my earlier Drabble Diary of a Stroke Survivor. There was a lot of errors in the Drabble Diary and I was unhappy with the overall quality. Also I now am giving 50% of the profits to the Stroke Association. the new book is not only a complete rewrite it also contains several new stories unconnected to stroke.

Just finished the lay out for Drabble Diaries of a Stroke Survivor, available soon from Success Stories Publishing and via smashwords as an e-book. As the UK Stroke Association will get 25% of the profits, Im hopeful that they will promote it

Hello............ lovely of you to come. I’m fine now that you’ve come to visit but I was in pain yesterday.

I’ve just come back from a walk and I’m a bit tired. It wouldn’t be far for you, but it was a long way for us, particularly when we're usually in wheel chairs. We didn’t even need our frames. We went up past the church and round the back....there’s no cemetery there now, then round behind the shops, and on to where the old air raid shelte...

I've just got involved with a new site called www.online-documentaries.tv.

There are some great online documentaries some in HD. 

Particular favourites are Sun Tzu and Mozart.

The legalities of file sharing are obviously complex and the minutiae of the defence and prosecution cases have taken the argument away from something most of us can easily comprehend .

However, I would like to state that the idea that the record labels assisted the artists is flawed.

Consider their marketing strategies….every week on Spotify (legally free) a label launches a “new” artist with their “amazing” debut a...
