We’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave!

It is an Englishman’s birthright to not only constantly talk about the weather but to never be satisfied with the weather we are having at any given time. Thus as we begin a heatwave in the UK it is time to begin grumbling about climate change and being irritable due to lack of sleep. The normally rainy UK is currently hotter than Mexico which can’t be a good thing. The UK’s band of climate…

M.E.G.A

Making Europe Great Again and the law of unintended consequences. (Image ©️ S Hannah March 2024) You can’t easily escape the irony of how the actions & plans of Donald Trump, and Russian President Putin, have had exactly the opposite effect to those intended. In Trump’s case, his apparent inability to understand that tarrifs are paid by the country imposing them would be laughable if the…

Don’t fear China, she might save the world.

I have watched the COP29 conference with increasing gloom. Sadly I have come to the conclusion that Democracies cannot deliver climate change mitigation. If left to politicians or capitalism will we all certainly suffer from catastrophic climate change effects. One country that is making changes that will have an effect is China, without the shackles of cross party negotiations or the influence…

Seeing the smaller picture

Recently I found myself feeling very low and stressed, but Health wise I feel good and I couldn’t understand why I was feeling in such a low mood. The cause came to me whilst watching the TV news, I was constantly occupying my mind about global issues, war in Ukraine, China’s behaviour over the south sea region and the American Elections and the chaos that a second Trump presidency would…

10 Decks of Grey pt.3

I booked with Cunard to see the world and what did I see, I saw the Sea! (Day 5 at sea, one day out from Bermuda) Andrea’s Classic of the day: We were at dinner but had no booze so I asked one of the floor managers “please can you send over the Sommelier” (wine waiter)? Andrea looked at me appalled, she thought that I had said to him “please send over the Somalian”. I have to give credit…

10 Decks of Grey Pt.4

Misunderstandings & Inappropriate Clothing. It was another Gala night tonight so everyone was in sequined posh frocks and DJ’s in the silver service restaurant but Andrea and I ended up in very undignified hysterical laughter. What Andrea actually said:“There’s lots of sparkly numbers around”. What I heard, “I just farted as there’s no one around!” We actually got some sun today so we spent…

10 Decks of Grey Pt.2

Britannia Rules The Waves (Somewhere in the mid Atlantic) Andrea just came out with a classic. Me “I can feel the ship moving” Andrea “I’ve finished in the loo” Me: “No, I said ship”! Well the POSH, POSH travelling life, the travelling life for me. Our POSH cruise started with a performance in the main dance hall by the Empire Brass Marching Band. They were great to be fair but many of the…

Cruise Blog.

After spending most of 2022 either in surgery or recovering from surgery we decided that we would treat ourselves to a cruise to New Zealand rather than fly next time and here we are on our way. The last time we cruised I kept a cruise diary and was asked by friends to do it again on this cruise. I decided to share it on my main blog as well. I hope you enjoy it: 10 Decks of Grey: Pt1. And…

The 'T' Word Part 18 - Celebrating My First Craniversity with Imposter Syndrome!

Hi. Here is the latest post on my blog. Stu

Photo by Ylanite Koppens on Pexels.com So here I am, heading towards my the first anniversary of my Craniotomy, a time for celebration I guess; but I find myself feeling very reflective and also feeling a bit of a fraud. I continue to read the battles of fellow Brain Tumour Warriors on Facebook and feel guilty that I feel so well at the moment. I am of course immensly grateful that I have fully…
