It has been a long and painful last few months in my life but finally a corner has been turned and life is almost back to normal. Strictly speaking that isn’t really true at all, it would be more accurate to say that life is beginning to settle into a new state of normal. Roughly […]
Read More Getting better and getting excitedI’d never seen so many sick people in one place as when I went whale watching.There must have been 40 people on the boat. Of those I’d say that there were about 6 of us that weren’t throwing up all over the place.Seriously, it was bad. I got absolutely soaked through as I had to […]

I was feeling rather miserable knowing that I’d wasted an entire day of a trip that I’d been looking forward to for so long. I dosed myself up on medication and got my head down for some sleep.
