Today Amber was in tears.
They told her I wouldn’t be in Toulon for long, Stoke Mandeville only for a while, and now I’m going to America not for 3 months but for five.

I feel sorry for myself for sure, but I feel devastated for the pain I’ve caused, and am causing still to those that love me the most.

So I think I’ll be in Louisville, Kentucky from January 26th through to late June – a whole five months.

I should have a room with another small ‘living area’ with a sofa bed in.

So… If anyone wants to come and visit me, they can!

My brother suggested trying to be organised about this ( in the hope that someone in the world might be interested ), so here goes.

So on the basis that anyone coming knows me well enough to know my mobile number or email address, then please get in touch.

I think I’m going to be allowed a week off from March 14 – 23rd, so I’ll be home that week, but all the rest of the time as far as I know, except for maybe 13-20 th of February, I’ll be very grateful for the company…

Go on, knock yourself out..

At midnight last night, my daughter Lily was most insistent that she used her one remaining Polaroid camera shot to take a picture of her and I.

She didn’t articulate why, but I think I know.

I think this one’ll be better than the last one.
