"May the Winds of Heaven blow softly on your Home, And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your Moccassins make happy tracks in the Snows, And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder".
This photo was taken this morning between 6 and 6:30. In the background you can see Whitesands holiday Park and around the small headland is Osmington Beach.
I got up early because I couldn't sleep, a number of reasons, but I heard the wind howling so had a quick butchers on the web cam at Secondwind, to see how the sea was behaving. There wasn't much to see as it was still dark, but what I was able to see (allot of see's there) due only to the small car park floodlight sneaking a bit of it's beam onto the beach. were the foaming crests of waves rolling onto shore.
That was enough to get me showered, dressed and out, bought a cup of tea from the Garage and headed for the Beach. There were a couple of odd bods around but but only this one sat on the beach sipping a cuppa.
It was something else just to be sitting there feeling the wind batter me and knocking my cup of tea over, but I managed to save two thirds of it.
The Sea always seems to breathe life into me.........

The GB Transplant Games took place last week end in Bath UK, and there were hundreds of children taking part.
No doubt when, or rather you hear some one say, or asks you, are you on the Organ Donor register, what springs to mind? is it that your organ would be donated to an Adult, I would suspect it is and probably other issue's would spring to mind such as, would they look after it? How ever you judge it I bet the fact that many children are also dying everyday day waiting for an Organ; Do your arguments stand up against them.
We are all unique, and all brought up with different beliefs leading to how emotive varying aspect of life have on each of us.
Watch these 2 clips below, and ask yourself that initial question again.
Donor Families are always remembered.
?????????? I will add more to this soon.......

GB Transplant Games 2010
Well it's the GB transplant Games this weekend, it actually started yesterday Thursday with the opening ceremony in Bath City Center, Last year it took place in Coventry where I believe there were over 600 competitors, children and adults all of whom have had an Organ transplant; with 1000 plus spectators.
The first of Transplant Games were held in 1978 in Portsmouth, UK with just 100 competitors and has taken place Annually ever since and hopefully will keep growing. from these games will be chosen a team to represent GB in the world Games.
My event is the 140metre Kayak sprint which is taking place tomorrow morning ( Sat 21st ) I was going up today so I can watch other events, and meet other people, well that was the plan until I was about to leave and felt a rumble in the jungle, so I'm hoping it will be OK tomorrow. I don't want to go without any food because that'll be disastrous for the event so fingers crossed; I'm going to say I'm beginning to get well hacked off with it, so gonna try and get in to see the doc today, again!!! and demand something be done.
I hope when I get to do the event they don't turn me away as my leg is still in plaster, but nothing been said to me so far, but you never know, (health and safety), but then I did the 26mile on the Thames. They'll have to drag me screaming and shouting before I give up lol.
Here is a video Andrew Boyle a young 12 year old boy From Widness who's competing this year in the Games Click HERE

Kidney Checkup
Well yesterday it was that time again, "It's that time again!!" every three months to get the usual blood tests, weight check, blood pressure and a chat. Had someone different this time, don't generally like that, you tend to build up a relationship and a re pour with a doctor; and when I see someone different some of the trust goes because they don't know you and sometimes you have to go through your past again.
I'm pretty intuitive and can pick up straight away if someone is really interested in you or your just another number in there daily routine. Believe it or not even though the doctors all learn the same material in their respective fields they often have different remedies and ways of dealing with a patient "go Figure" thank god!!!
For instance on a lighter note during my stay in hospital, during transplants I had bouts of constipation lol, now, I was getting it from both ends, remedies I mean, and nothing was really working then one morning during the rounds I had about 6 surgeons and doctors around my bed, it was mentioned that I was still having troubles, lets bear in mind here, first, that I was having things pushed up northwards every once and awhile and ingesting fluid allot during the day,,,
"How shall we sort this problem!" this surgeon said, wait for it...
"Give him 4 in an hour" then in unison me and the nurse shouted
"FOUR!!!!!" ha ha laughing I said
"your joking, I can't keep one up for five minutes" we all started laughing and he changed his mind.
I had excellent doctors and surgeons apart from two, one made a hatchet of a dressing one day, and another scared me to death by treating me as an object to his students, not even an hello, goodbye or any explanation to what he was doing. might be a slight exaggeration
One time I came back to the ward because of an infection, so they put me in a room of my own. I naturally went to a kidney ward, settled in, spoke to a few nurses and doctors that I knew and then in walked a doctor I'd never seen...
"Hello my name is doctor... you look dehydrated" as he perused my file, clever I thought. Then he said "you may have Kidney Problems, have you had problems before" oh Jesus I thought now does he mean with the transplanted kidney or... so I said something like...
"no not since the transplant" and he replied
" you've had a transplant have you, oh I am sorry let me go away and read your notes"
I couldn't believe it, where am I, is it me, am I dreaming, Jesus!!!! Help!!!! lol, let me out!!!, I've got quite a few like that so you see why I get a bit apprehensive when I see someone different.
Everything was good, Kidney is working fine blood pressure very good. Apart from his remark saying, my kidney is old, what do you call mean old, it's only 3 1/2 years, old!!! old my backside.
