My last post was on Oct 9th and was full of plans and hope. that hasn’t come to pass as I am sure you are shocked to learn. Instead a combination of lack of planning (despite starting at a time that gave me plenty of time) not feeling 100% and other commitments I haven’t managed…
First day back at work today, spent most of the day sorting emails and dealing with crap…. Went to work in the car and then when I came home for lunch I went back on the motorbike, then you can guess what happened, yup it pissed down, hate it when that happens when I am…

The Grand Chamber of the European court of Human rights has backed the complaints of three…
Sat down to do tonight’s writing and I am struggling to stay awake, but I was determined to get something down so I can try and keep up with this challenge. I am away Sunday/Monday so will also have to make sure I try and keep up with it then as well. Quite happy that…
