Still here

This will be my last blog - I wish it wasn't as I've thoroughly enjoyed the process. It's been good for me to share my thoughts 'n' that. Thank you if you've read these and accompanied me on this journey that is now, unfortunately, coming towards it's end. My health has taken quite the nose-dive and its obvious that time is no longer on my side; I've been surprised at how quickly I have declined. I'd go so far as to say I'm really shocked at how rapid my mobility has simply gone. Cancer is a proper bastard.  It feels like I was reasonably okay and then, within the blink of an eye, I'm pretty much bed-bound and it's a mind bender. Which means I won't get that last ride on my bike. 😥😭 Never mind, the rides I did during the summer were fantastic and the lads who came along made each trip as good as it was. Cheers, chaps! 🏍  I'm not going to write here about all the things that will happen after I've gone - a pointless endeavou...

Chemo is a massive bag of smashed dicks. That's all. That's all I'm saying on it.  Moving on... Life's a funny game isn't it? Journeys and destinations are what interest me; that and time, well, how we perceive and experience it.  The journeys thing: I don't want to get too deep or philosophical but (cue twatty rambling) are we really on a journey through life? If we are, then the final destination is the same for all of us, regardless of where we start from or which turns we take, who we travel with or how fast we choose to go. I like that. Sounds a bit too quick, though. Like most journeys and destinations in life, we always seem to be in a hurry to get there.  Maybe we need to slow right down and meander through life with the stroll of an observer drinking it all in.  "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Ferris Bueller All on the same journey, then. All playing the same game. Different t...

10th January 2023 First words of this, my blog, and of the year.  I've mused over doing a blog of some kind for a while now and had intended to begin on the 1st of January, but life got in the way - as it does and the details of which I'll likely go into as we progress through this. Then again, I may not; my writing tends to drift and tangents will be common.  So, why do a blog?  I suppose I'm feeling reflective a lot lately and like most of us, I enjoy the flashbacks that come from Facebook's memories that appear daily with reminders of events from last year or years before. Our family photo album from Amazon and Google does the same thing with snippets of Imagery or rather your history, and its every day. I like it a lot. I dont know how healthy it is to constantly/daily be forced to look back at one's life, but it's only usually good stuff - it's pictures, videos or thoughts you have wanted to share or capture.  This blog however, will be quite different ...
