Living with sarcoidosis, the good, the bad, and lots of in between.

  • Could it be a giant rabbit?

    Out walking I stumbled upon this erm, the photo captures almost how big each piece is, piece of what? you might be asking. I for one did not poke or lift a piece to sniff or taste, but it looks like huge rabbit droppings, if so we either have a giant rabbit or one which just might now have a very sore prolapsed ass…

  • Just a quick few the other night

    So many to recycle, and no I did not really have them all in one go! get them in the recycle bin to be sent for a meltdown, eh, do my bit to help save the planet, hmmm, before North Korea decides to cause some kind of melt down, its on the tins, extra smooth and chilled, the leaders of North Korea really do need to chill out and smooth over that bumpy past.

  • Food on the knees

    One thing about making lots of bulk meals, when one has been dragged out of the freezer and forced into the casserole dish, been in the oven for about one hour at about 180 degrees, this is something else in gas, erm, oh yes, we simply let it cool a little, squirt a lot of juicy tomato sauce into the side and tuck in, what a way on keeping the bills down, ah, but, hmmm, oh well…

  • Daffodils through the snow

    While the weather is getting a little more like Springtime, it is only a couple of week since these daffodils decided to keep on pushing through, they are such a workhorse.

    But are we all ready for some warmth after one of the longest coldest winters on record, brrr, I know I am.

  • A cat in the morning

    I woke and opened my blinds, sat there was one of my neighbours cats, when I tapped the window it turned around and still seemed half asleep ha.

    It almost seems to have a Hitler type ‘tash’ and face pulling…

  • Bianchi C2C Via Nirone 7

    And it happened, a road bike through the cycle to work scheme, super grateful to work, yes I have already been asked if I have been out on it but, it is on the agenda, a target that moves, health then fitness, matter over mind, it seems my health is stable and so I will take some small tentative pedal stroke on it, all in good time!


    Understandably it might have been too big for a neighbour to receive, even getting it into my flat, mind you, the delivery man did say its one of the lightest bikes he has delivered…


    Since starting my career, erm, started cycling, I have always loved the colour scheme of the Bianchi’s, I have never had an Italian frame, or even a fully kitted out Italian bike, absolutey loved lifting this out.


    This is just so special, it felt good, really light and very comfortable to hold, it tasted like I had been waiting for ages! oh, the bike is going to get a great review soon, just a little warmer weather and a few items to buy and we there.

  • Tell you what again

    Iv so much to write, about so much! but, this has been the coldest winter in ages, in longer than my 48 years, its my first winter working while being a rare sarcoid, this past week iv been learning some pretty tough new skills at work, enjoyed, its been a superb challenge, but then I get home and just need to regenerate my own heat and eventually hit the bed.

    Lets have a reminder of the weather towards the end of March 2013…


    What appear like hot ash plunging to earth is simply my phones flash against the falling snow.


    What appears like a street light is simply the flash against the near horizontal snowing!

    Yet the same week in March 2012 I performed the following song, my own song about Sarcoidosis, the only song about sarcoidosis on our gorgeous planet, aptly named too…


    Memories of a gorgeous March day.

  • Pure absolute power…

    Umphhh, that is all I can say, a perfect blend of the 300 Watt Marshall cab and the 150 Watt Bugera head – brilliance, I cant hear what your saying…

    Tonight will be sooo good, Matts band supporting Jacobs band at Delius lived next door, cant wait, a first of its kind with much to follow.

  • Happy 77th Mum

    Only 23 years until you get a letter from the future king!

    Love your loads, glad you liked my card.

  • Mind over matter over mind

    Jeez, we know the usual saying is mind over matter, but, matter over mind seems to be kicking in – ouch…
