I had a flu jab today. I suspect I shouldn’t be getting them for free but if my doctor wants to invite me, I’m not going to turn it down. I used to qualify for such things as a carer and I guess they haven’t changed their database now that I’m not. I have had… Read more

2nd October ’23 – WTF?
So I wrote a book. I’m sure I’ll bore you with a great more detail about it at some point. I always intended to try and get it published and apparently you do that by sending off to literary agents in the hope that one of them will see a money making opportunity and take… Read more
