Party 2015

-
Well the festival season has kicked off with Troyfest 2015 at Baskerville Hall Hotel in Powys. I voluntered along with my best friend Neil. It was one amazing festival, and the atmosphere was really great, and the people were really great as well (volunteers, security and festival goers)

 Then last weekend was my 40th Birthday Weekend - really let my self go for that one (thanks to Neil, Jamie and Skinner for making my 40th one to remember!)

 Got more festivals to go to as a volunteer, and as interviewer for my show and Bro Radio

 So far coming up is....

 Lunar Festival (volunteer)
Nozstock (reporter/interviewer)

 With the above in mind, I've decided one thing... to live life to its fullest, party and enjoy my self.  With all my aches and pains and other problems, I have to learn to live with them, and not let them dictate what I can do.  I can't live life wrapped up in cotton wool in a box marked fragile, I have to live life out side the box and enjoy it while I can.

 I fear I may end up turning in to a party animal... but its time I lived life and dug my self out from the cushions of the sofa and stop being a couch potato.

 A few years back I was getting out for walks, and that is one thing I must get back in to the habbit of.

 Life is for the living, and I must get on with it and live it.

 
 


LUNAR FESTIVAL was just fantastic. Lots of great acts including the Radiophonic Workshop. This is one festival I will be volunteering at next year

NOZSTOCK took place 24th to the 26th July. It was a great festival, some fantastic acts including Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, De La Soul and the main headliner for me Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. It was a bit wet and muddy though, but that didn't dampen things too much

Cornflakes coated chicken

Cornflakes coated chicken Inspired by Nigella  In a bowl mix together the following Mustard (of your choice - dijon, whole grain or French) Two cloves of garlic (grated) Egg (to combine) mix well until all ingredients are combined. To this add 2 chicken breast fillets flattened into escallops, let them bathe for a while, while you prepare the coating. In another dish pour some cornflakes , massage them into crumbs, add some paprika or cayenne pepper ( depending on your taste ), mix together. Take the chicken out of your mustard mixture and coat in the cornflakes, make sure you coat well. Fry in a pan until the chicken is cooked. Serve with a nice salad. I used honey nut cornflakes, which wasn't right for the dish due to the sweetness, but the nuttieness worked, I also added chives to the cornflakes. See a video online at https://youtu.be/44FvvRk-FIE

Christmas 2023 and into 2024

  I'm not feeling like Christmas right now. My Dad's woman friend, Tel, passed away, she was found by Police yesterday, after Dad hadn't heard from her in a few days. I'm feeling less than perfect. He's not told my sister yet, but she couldn't care less! She's said as much in an email basically washing her hands of it all and has more or less told me to take sides. Now I'm going to have to confront Dad about his house, there's no way I can set foot in there as the smell makes me want to throw up, didn't want to do that til new year. Oh what a Christmas this will be, damn it. I feel like I'm trapped between two dead end roads with no right of way. My downstairs neighbour said if my sister isn't talking to him she won't know I've been there. I can see where she is coming from though. I can't set foot in the house as it is anymore, it turned my stomach the other day, even a face mask don't help. I've decided to send my Da

Following the Autumn Statement & Question Time

Following on from the Autumn Statement on Wednesday, and BBC Question Time. I'm on ESA, I want to work, and have even tried applying for jobs. My health is a warning sign it seems to employers. I have days when I can't get out of bed, where it's just too much of an effort to even lift my head off the pillow. When I am able to do things I throw my all into it. I then suffer because of it by my body rebelling. It really gets on my nerves. I would love to work, but there are so many fit and healthy people about, why would a company take on someone like me who would be unreliable for them and the work world in general? Do the government see this or understand this? I'm on PIP, the mobility part goes towards keeping me independent (can't use busses due to anxiety) the other part goes towards CBD oil to reduce my need for some medication and to save the Welsh NHS money on my prescription. I'm on ESA as well, this is used for the rest of my living costs. I
