"We need to pick up brain tumour symptoms quicker.
We don’t want to wait a month or a year; immediate diagnosis leads to urgent care." Nicki Chapman👏

@bobpetesarah many thanks for providing a soundtrack to my life for 33 years since I took a gamble on picking up this FoxbaseAlpha LP in a record shop near East croydon It wasSuch wonderful new music then. Your releases have been consistently great ever since and played regularly
'You have to look beyond the face
to see the person true,
Deep down within my inner space
I am the same as you;
I've counted since that fire burnt
the many lessons I have learnt.
You have to talk to me and not
the skin that holds me in.'
RIP Benjamin: we saw the person true.
A personal thread. Today my family were due to be commemorating the 80th anniversary of the sinking of HMS Glowworm in the Battle of Narvik and the death of my grandfather. We were due to meet at the memorial with his name at Southsea but with social distancing that is not on
In remembrance
Chief Petty Officer Stoker Frederick Hamilton, (my maternal grandfather)
DIed April 1940 on the sinking of HMS Glowworm at the Battle of Narvick
This Saturday morning is the core monthly meet for GASP volunteers as they get the churchyard ready for Autumn/winter. Do stop and say hi to the volunteers if you are passing or feel free to join us. We are there 9.30am to 12.00 noon. #SouthCroydon
So 3 months on from the diagnosis that brought an end to my worsening symptoms but also changed my life for ever, I get to have a break from hospitals for a bit (wonderful as they are)
If you missed it live, do take a moment to catch up on the wonderful @CCfunkandsoul interview with @Eddy_Grant on @BBC6Music, via bbc sounds. The BBC excels WITH ITS CONTENT again
