Downsizing

Spent my morning sorting out bags of clothes that contain items going back years. I've collected four sacks for the charity shop, discarding many pairs of jeans, shirts, T's and pullovers. Some memories to be found in old clothes even. Many memories are better in the trash bin but I hope someone finds comfort or even pleasure in them when they peruse the local PDSA - destination of these cast offs.
I have, however clung on to most of my tour and promo T Shirts with their logos and images - these are memories that I want to cling on to. Good times.

A Great Story

I found this on a link via my Facebook page, and shared it with a few people in work, we were in stitches as I read it out to them, a great tale perfectly told.

I haven't posted on this blog for years and years, and I'm a little surprised its still here. A lot has happened to me in the intervening years and some I might care to mention if I choose to continue using this site. Most of what has happened has been bad, some awful, some tragic, people dear to me have died, and I have made many mistakes. I'm hoping to be starting out on a new chapter in my life, a bit of a clean page so to speak, perhaps I've got somewhere here to record some of the stuff that may or may not happen, hopes, dreams, fears. We'll see I guess.

For now I want to thank a few people who basically have saved my life.

Mum and Dad, Helen, Dave, Marla, Dave H, Dr. Proctor, the staff nurses and doctors at The University Hospital of Wales, and the memories of my dear Gran and Cal and Kitty.
No words can ever explain what I owe to this select group who have helped me, and guided me and bailed me out and fixed me when I was broken. To them all a sincere and heartfelt thank you.x
