Several years ago the terrestrial TV companies would build an audience for a programme by screening an episode of a series every week. Then along came streaming and they would “drop” an entire series at once enabling people to “binge watch”. However TV companies now seem to be adopting the streaming tactic. They broadcast the […]

What is British Nationality?
The Acts and Treaties – the very fundamentals of the Union of Great Britain – did not extinguish the four nations. They remained active in history, culture, law and fact, and – crucially – each nation retains the sovereign right to self-determination. None of the Acts and Treaties tell us that there will be a […]
Weight Management – still a struggle
It has been a wee while since I posted an update on how I’m coping with my weight. It has been a continuing struggle to loose weight. My attempts have not been fruitful. My excercise is OK, am walking enough at my own pace and that has mainly helped. However there have been weeks where […]
A wee walk around North Berwick
Thought I’d do a wee post using some photos from a walk around the town yesterday. Evening during this pandemic I’ve still gone out for my morning walk after breakfast and reading the newspaper. Yesterday I took one of my actual cameras with me rather than just my cell phone. The photo above was taken […]
Struggling with Weight
For the last year I have been putting weight back on. It is a constant struggle. It’s not been helped by “comfort eating” after visiting my parents. More so since my mother was admitted into a care home. It’s been depressing to see them both. My father just living to go in every day to […]
Israel and complaints
I believe the Israeli government is in breach of the United Nations Convention on Human Rights in many ways. It flaunts international law, fails to respect or protect the rights of Palestinians, occupies land illegally and treats Arabs as second class citizens. It is aggressively taking over more land. It fails to treat the people […]
Much ado about nothing
What’s getting my goat today is all those stupid politician’s in Westminster complaining that the UK Parliament is going to be suspended for a month then there will be a Queen’s Speech when they get back. They state this is undemocratic. What they are forgetting in their false ire is that Parliament is normally suspended […]
The Challenge of Weight Maintenance
For the first 4 months of 2019 I have struggled with my weight. This started with Xmas and has carried on. I have attempted to loose some of the weight gain but it has proved difficult. As a result I suspect I may be close to being back into the range of Type 2 Diabetes. […]

Type 2 Diabetes – Annual MOT
I’ve had my two annual appointments early this month – December 2018. The first with the GP Surgery, the 2nd with the Trial Legacy Project. I’m still in remission though my HbA1c has increased slightly. This was not a surprise as I had put weight back on over the summer – back up to 94.5Kg […]
