I don't have an inflated enough opinion of myself to think that many people will miss me. However, I don't want anybody that might be wondering why nothing new has appeared here for ages to think either that I've died, given the few recent posts about my health, or have just given up blogging. I'm officially 'having...

The YELLOW! Lamy Safari fountain pen arrived, and of course I have tried it out as soon as I had time this morning. (Sorry for the grammatically incorrect capitals and exclamation mark there, but just 'yellow' in lower case doesn't seem enough for how YELLOW! the pen is) My review:As a fountain pen - Disappointing....

how it started It roughly happened like this. A couple of weeks ago, while browsing through my RSS feed reader, a post title caught my interest.And, unusually, I found it again to get the link. Left-handed people can't use a fountain pen - Kev Quirkhttps://kevquirk.com/left-handed-people-cant-use-a-fountain-pen Why...

I haven't blogged for a while. This is mainly because I am very tired. Why am I very tired? Well, let's see if we can work it out. I have MS. Part of the symptoms for that are having a decent helping of fatigue, which can manifest itself as an all over the body, general musculature weakness, and a foggy brain that...

Previously...https://wobblybear.uk/post/i-m-inside-again Things can move quickly in the health service sometimes. The fastest it moves is when they've decided they need the bed you are taking up when they have someone much more ill to put in it instead. Yesterday I found myself just finishing my breakfast cereal...

Yay, in hospital again. I've done a lot of hospitaling over the last three or four years. It's nothing to do with the most recent difficulty of pulmonary hypertension I wrote about recently on the face of it, but a re-occurence of the AF – atrial fibrillation – I last had over two years ago, and had thought was...

My Dad rang yesterday. And he has obviously just discovered the video calling option on the Signal app. It caught me out at first as it is the first time he's ever used that option. I try not to use it much myself either really. To my kids it's second nature. Call Dad (me) do it on video. Am I being old-fashioned...

From a favourite north Cornwall clifftop walk. This is looking south towards Boscastle and Tintagel. Padstow is around 25 miles away on the distant horizon.

I had a moment yesterday. A touch of the OhFuckingHellItsAllGettingABitTooMuchNow's. I was taking the dog for her longer walk of the day at a local woods. The forecast was saying the day would be punctuated with very heavy showers, so we were prepared for a wet walk. Recently my walking has not been good. Coupled...

I like a nice cloud. This is at the abandoned but well-grazed WW2 airfield at Davidstow, Cornwall, where the sky is massive. Often you can't see anything because the sky comes right down to the ground as mist, but not today.

No, the blog does not now have public conveniences. But it does have an added convenience. This is just a brief post to direct readers to a new feature added to my blog, which I've only been able to add as Vincent, the developer of the Scribbles platform, has just added the ability for me to add it if I want to. And...

Starting new habits to try to improve some aspect of my life is not a problem. Trying to maintain any of them beyond a week or so is a different thing altogether. For example, I must have tried to train myself to touch-type properly many times over the years. I've always managed to get myself past the initial...
