@John68Richmond @Andrew_Adonis Well, I am glad you are on the other side of the pond. Even in my ragged condition I'd still pay extra to help the poorest. Our country is fucked by unprecedented greed and selfishness.
I'm very tired, have left hospice to stay with my folk's. Had a very bad night and still trying to find the balance between pain meds and hallucination. Love each and every one of you xx
Please send out your kindest thoughts to the great English visionary artist #GregGilbert as he strives to negotiate increasingly turbulent waters in his search for some semblance of dry land.
We're rooting for you,Greg.

I was so sorry to miss last night's 'Listening Party' - I've spent the day catching up with all of the comments and messages and, my god, I'm so grateful. We all are. To every who took the time to comment, much love to you.
Thank you @Tim_Burgess it's a great thing you're doing,
.... will return to its usual blend of drawing/painting/music/ranting about tories/Batman and cute animals. In the meantime I'm sending lots of love and thanks to you all xxx (this was an extra bit)
and friends I have, as well as all the considerate souls out in cyberspace who regularly beam me their good vibes. I still believe in magic, the power of a good gesture and laughter. I want to fill the days ahead with all of these and so much more. No doubt my social media 3/3
But I'm now in an uncertain future where I don't know how long I have and what the days will look like. I'm trying to get home for a couple of hours a day to see the kids, energy willing, and hope I can still find the time to create. I'm impossibly lucky to have the family 2/3
This isn't a post I ever thought I'd write but it seems necessary. I have, unfortunately, been taken off of treatment and am now being treated for pain relief at Countess Mountbatten Hospice. The pains are mostly under control and the nurses here are nothing less than angels. 1/3
@jamabing We did an acoustic session on the radio show following his and, being as St Patrick's day had just passed, on his way out he left us a few pints of Guinness and departed with a 'play good, boys!'. Lovely fella.
