My 50th

-

I'm 50 on 8th May, and what have I accomplished in life, not much, in fact things have slipped since my father got diagnosed with cancer.

When I say 'not much' I have done some exciting things in life. A months trial at Asian Sound Radio in Manchester, being at the change over from Radio Tircoed to SA Radio Live, getting my show on to Upload Radio on DAB in a few locations, launching my show on shortwave AND also being on Bro Radio. I've also been on the online spin off station Moorlands Gold, and currently exclusively on Islands FM.

Back to my Dad, I quit my live radio show because I wanted to be there for him. Once out of hospital, I've been popping to see him and help with a few things around the house and taking him out shopping and just out for a change of scenery.

I seem to be doing everything I possibly can do for him. My sister hasn't even been down to see him and that really gets to me, because it's all on me.

I feel guilty because I'm going away over my birthday for 6 days, knowing I'm leaving my Dad to struggle.

In my 50th year I want to travel more, and get back to doing live radio again, also hope to get out of my first floor flat into a ground floor one or a bungalow.

Getting in to ground floor is seriously needed for me. The council have sent me a form for my GP to fill in.

Back to the travel, I want to travel more, as said, maybe Eastern Europe, Lithuania is one such place I want to visit, as well as Poland again too. Also would love to go back to Germany, ich liebe Deutschland 😍

Back To The Future - The Musical is just AWSOME!

What can I say about the Back To The Future - The Musical but... AWSOME! It really is an amazing musical. It's based on the first film. Some of the music you will recognise, but some music was specially written for it. The visual effects are just mind blowing, especially with the car. Something so fantastic happens at the end with the car, I don't want to spoil it for those planning on going. The casting is just amazing, the actor that plays George McFly, Marty's father (Orlando Gibbs) is perfect, also the actor that plays Doc Brown (Cory English) who apparently has only been in the role for two years, and Marty (played by Vasco Emauz), there is a number of Michael J Fox-isms in there. Apparently there will be about another year of it at The Adelphi theatre in London before it sets off around the world including on a cruise liner and at some point Japan. It is well worth booking to see it, I booked a VIP experience with the LW Theatre's group (drinks and snacks before a...

1st : A new month, same issues. Feeling very achy and full of wind today, pain about a 5. Let me put this here as a reference to the levels of pain. 2nd : I should get out of bed, but hip killing and feeling strange again, neck also in agony. I'm going to try to push through the pain, had a gabapentin and two paracetamol about half hour ago (keep some at side of bed). Pain at a distracting 5 . 3rd : Slight pain, normal aches, a bit of an ok kind of day, pain at a 3 . Got lots done today. 4th : 4:30am - Hell, fibro flare up, in great pain currently, hate being woken up by it. Pain is at a 8 . I need the toilet but can hardly move. Gabapentin and paracetamol ( lucky I keep then by the side of the bed ) as soon as I can move a little and can reach the socket on the wall will turn the electric blanket on as heat helps. It's always the same after a day of relative normality, and a day of getting things done, wallop, my body hits back, why don't I ever see this on...
