September 21 to be exact.

Had a fair while away and chilled a bit in some ways, got madder than hell in others.

Honestly though? I think I missed the story comps the most.

So not much has happened to me, had a couple of minor strokes, TIAs they are called, lost some memories, split with the mrs, moved back to Hereford (Lucky my old room is still there at my mum's place),
New job, working from home.
Given up booze a year last January, gave up vaping back in may,
Had a week in hospital following a useless overdose attempt. Pretty much planned a better go a while ago, including booking a hotel room to do it in, then got distracted by stuff,


Its been a pretty # year or so, but I am still kicking.

Anyway, glad to be back and drop a note if you feel you are owed an apology, we can discuss that.

You're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. Kudos! Those are some huge milestones to conquer.
Hang in there with us tho. The End will be awesome, and make all this worth it. There is more waiting for us. And it's a lot more pleasant and beautiful than it's been conveyed to us. Keep up the good fight.
Nice to meet ya btw. Clean slate with us.

If you’re intent on dying make sure you enjoy it, I’d imagine over dosing can’t be that much fun.

I’d suggest some alternatives but old age after a long and fruitful life seems the best, preferably in your sleep after a wonderful meal


Which reminds me of a joke.

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like his passengers.

Anywho Sprocket, glad you have returned to the fold and you’ve given away the booze and baccy.

Ta mate.
I think I am over the whole suicide rubbish now.
One of the doctors told me it and the massive depression that it came from was a common consequence of a stroke so add in all the other stuff and it aint such a shock anymore.

Anyhow I'm on the up now so not planning anything ore
