Feathered friend

I can't write too much today. I am having problems in the chair and I won't last long in this position. Try it for yourself sometime, deliberately sit badly, then imagine your are unable to move. Now see how long you last.

Anyway, enough of the problems, I want you to meet my friend. He is 10 weeks old and just discovering his world. His name is Valentino (after Valentino Rossi). He is hand reared i.e. completely tame and totally unafraid of humans. He should learn to talk but I am a bad teacher because I hardly speak!

Lonely post

Today is the day I write. Regular readers will have noticed the paucity of postings lately. I could explain why, however you will have to forgive my deep level of introspection. My mood plummeted recently as I faced the realisation that I cannot be a good advocate for myself. I will always develop strong arguments to get others represented and justice, but I have an inability to put forward myself ahead of others in situations which are about the work I do. This relies on people knowing me or being similarly inclined. This unlikely circumstance therefore doesn't occur and consequently I will enter a very lonely place where my feeling of separation from others is deepened.

Some nights are long. Lately the nights have become anguished hours of restless discomfort. Peace of mind and a restful sleep are a blessing.


We are busy with the launch of a new business. I developed a presentation which we (Simon and I) are presenting to different potential clients. Our success will depend on the interest we arouse and the level of customer need. To give you an idea of the company image I have placed a copy of our logo and strap line for you. Our key point of differentiation is our commitment to care quality and the care givers professional status. In addition 40% of our board are disabled.
I will need a new assistant as Linda will be talking on new duties with Aide de Vie. Please can someone with computer skills and a good telephone manner apply.
