On the level.
Posted on 12:43pm Friday 7th October 2011
On a nice sunny day last week I took a trip to the Lanes in Brighton. It was great seeing all the people sitting outside eating and drinking and enjoying themselves especially as we were approaching the end of September. As I only have partial use in my legs I can't walk very far and was glad to sit down in one of the many coffee shops to rest my legs and have a drink.

Staying in to work.
Posted on 8:13pm Wednesday 3rd August 2011
I watched a programme on American television the other day about the ever growing number of people in that country who are now working from home rather than going out to work. They are doing this thanks to computers and the internet – the method by which I was able to watch live American TV from home in Brighton.

To stay in or not stay in - that is the question.

This last week I have been bunged up with a type of flu which has been doing the rounds – a dry cough, sore throat, difficulty in speaking and, worse of all, just feeling run down and under the weather.

You expect a present from Santa - not for him to turn his back on you.

All Change at the County
Posted on 3:42pm Thursday 22nd July 2010
I went to a meeting the other week to discuss the future of the Royal Sussex County Hospital. I have an interest in health services and sit on a number of bodies in the Health Service as a Patient Representative.

Do you know about BHICS?
Posted on 8:04pm Monday 7th June 2010
I’m not a betting man but if I was I wouldn’t mind betting that most people would answer this question by replying “no”. Yet it’s something you should know about because this organisation – if it has not dealt with you already – will probably be dealing with you, or one of your loved ones, sometime soon.

I'm an unholy man looking for love
Posted on 4:11pm Thursday 11th February 2010
There’s a Speed-Dating Party this weekend at a cafe in Rottingdean – when I first heard of it I thought it was a joke. I thought: “How could such a thing happen in posh Rottingdean?"

Being kept in makes you apppreciate being able to get out.

An Honour Well-deserved
Posted on 3:41pm Thursday 31st December 2009
I was absolutely “over the moon” on hearing in the Argus today (New Year’s Eve) that a friend of mine Robert Brown from Bevendean has been awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours. If anyone deserved an honour it is Robert.

Time For Yoga
Posted on 8:55pm Thursday 17th December 2009
Christmas is here again and I,like most other people, I am stuffing myself with all the usual goodies such as mince pies and Christmas cake – things which, according to my homeopath friend, have the nutritional value of -100.
