I was saddened to read that Cecil had died... That he had been hunted and killed. The problem is that it wasn't done because he was a problem, or a killer, or that he had done anything other than be a successful lion. Instead, he was killed simply because he was a lion. Maybe the… Continue reading Because today is a sad day…

What must it be like?
Today I found myself wondering what it is like not to live without a mental disability. The last few days have been tough for me. My wonderful concoction of problems have been raising their heads and looking around. This means that I have found myself making silly mistakes, falling over and not wanting to socialise.… Continue reading What must it be like?

Thinking…
I have been thinking about writing a bit of poetry. It isn't my forte but lately I have been feeling the urge... At the same time there has been an opportunity to write some screenplays.
