2018 so far.

Well it seems that all my old blog posts have vanished, so lets start from the start eh? Well not the very start, that's a little far back....

Lets go back to January 2015, the end of January 2015 to be exact...

I had scraped myself off of the bottom of the barrel and started to get my life back on track. The breakdown was behind me and life looked to be going in the right direction. I arrived at my new digs in Rhossili ready to re start my life as a volunteer for the National Trust. By the end of 2017 I had graduated from Volunteer to Paid ranger on the Save our Magnificent Meadow project and everything was kind of OK. My contract with the trust had ended and I was looking for work again this time in Cardiff.

With the help of my Amazing Girlfriend and Friends I had a great place to live and was content delivering Pizza for a well known company. That fell through when the insurance they had clashed with my own insurance. So again no job. But I persisted and got a job working for a Sports Grounds Company. Just 3 months into that I hurt my back. A lovely bulge on my L5/S1 and a lot of pain everywhere else meant that I couldn't work and after 3 month off sick we separated ways in an amicable fashion. Not financially beneficial but the door is open to go back once my back is sorted.

And once I have received my new Birth Certificate as here in the UK you need to prove your a citizen with either a valid passport or birth certificate. Neither of which I have it turns out. My passport ran out last month and who knows where my birth certificate is? I have ordered a new birth certificate and am awaiting that to arrive.

Add into that multiple trips to the vets with the cats totalling over £1200, persistent car issues and just dealing with the feeling of sinking depression everyday and i'm doing surprisingly well. That is all down to the amazing lady called Liz. She is my girlfriend, best friend and without her I would have completely lost the plot, again.

Anyway...... That's the introduction done. Briefly, there is a lot more detail I could put in there but you don't have that long, no one does, What you will see here on a semi regular basis are posts about cats, cars, art projects, and anything else that I feel the need to write about.

So please do follow if you want to read more about the life of a guy who has and is dealing with all that life throws at him in a somewhat stable and coherent manor......
