My back and Kep's back.

Good news I’ve got a week off work, the bad news I had to put my back out to get it! According to the physio I’ve slipped a disk slightly and with a couple of weeks being very careful I should be fine. Unfortunately being careful means not sitting at the computer for longer than 15 mins and not doing any heavy lifting, so all the things I would want to do with a week off (working on photos, doing some blogging and working in the garden) are off the menu. The only thing open to me is walking and the weather has decided to take a turn for the worst. So I’m prowling around the house like a caged Tiger and just doing little bits here and there.

There have been 2 bright spots to the day, first I’ve just read a fantastic book, A Dog Year: Rescuing Devon, the Most Troublesome Dog in the World, a truly great book if you are in any way in to dogs and boarder collies in particular. The second high spot was this clip of a contestant on Britain’s got talent, a real case of not judging a book by its cover, if you have only a minute just watch this clip it will make you smile (made me cry but I’m a bit emotional at the moment).

The picture to day is of Kep as he has not been on for so long.

Beautiful shot of Kep, hope your back improves, at least walking is allowed, although the 15 minute computer rule is a pain.

He is such a lovely looking dog.

Sorry you are feeling emotional, and you must be in quite a bit of pain too. Back pain is awful, and because you don't look particularly ill with it, you never seem to get much sympathy - so here is some sympathy for you!

Sweet little Kep!

I hope your back feels better. Back pain is the worst, it affects everything you do. I am really hoping you feel better soon.

Oh no! Not jumping off the wardrobe again?!! :-) Hope you take doctor's advice and rest up - it'd be good to have you fit again in a couple of weeks.Take it easy and enjoy the walks! Lovely shot of Kep, by the way. Get Well Soon.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever
