Time the destroyer

A day, a week, becomes a year and time keeps ticking, advancing relentlessly. I have not been up to my goal to regularly publish my thoughts and experiences. My only defence i the weakness in my body to release my thoughts from the all consuming struggle against the pain and discomfort. Don't get me wrong my pain is minor compared to many who struggle against debilitating agony. So without further delay.

Angela came in to be my assistant. We worked well together and I broadened my ideas and goals to take into account some of the new skills she brought with her. Last weekend however she decided it was more important to be with her boyfriend in Canada and she flew off today. So I start again to search for a suitable PA.

Take a look at the Aide de Vie website and let me know what comments you have.

My car went into the workshop for a test of the battery and system, but they can't find any problems, so its back to square one. I will now rig up a system to plug it into when not in use everyday.

Battle against it

I write today, not really having intended to do so. My mind wanders around the events of the last weeks and I now realise to do it justice a full and proper account of the time would take a day. So, instead I will be brief and just do a flavour.

Needless to say there is no sign of Valentino and I have given up hoping he will be returned.

Aide de Vie is still advancing and it can be very stressful trying to balance the various interactions and conflicts, that arise along the way. This is a process and the birth pain will be replaced by a post natal depression. It is tough but I love it.

My new PA, Angela, has fitted in very well and is well liked by all. She has just finished putting the finishing touches to our brochure so next week we start printing.

Open Roads has applied for a £66k grant, if we secure that we can start to activate our plans.

If you get a chance, get the DVD "Instinct", starring Anthony Hopkins as a scientist who takes on the life of the gorillas he is study in Rwanda. Revealing to the way we think in the modern world.
