2022 into 2023

Looking back 2022, Looking forward 2023


As 2022 comes to a close, a quick look back and forward.

I'm thankful for having my friends and making new ones, Carl and his two dogs, Cosmo and Harley.

Dog sitting at home for Hannah's dog Nero, and looking after Gilby for Del, also looking after Cosmo & Harley for Carl.

There are loads of people I've not seen this year due to various reasons, mostly down to eye sensitivity to bright lights and being unable to drive safely. I want to and must rectify that in 2023.

Online, new friends include Wozzey, Steve and Jake. I've reconnected with a childhood friend from Ipswich, Jason.

On Twitter with the star of BBC sitcom No Place Like Home, Dee Sadler; also former BBC news reader and star of the BBC's The Real Marigold Hotel series, Jan Leaming. I feel so proud to have connected with them and be in their universe.

My health isn't good, but one thing has changed for the good, I'm no longer on insulin 😊.

Going down to Surrey to dog sit was great, a break I needed, the driving was far from enjoyable for me due to left eye blur.

So looking ahead, the one thing I hope for is my vision back properly in my left eye, it's not much to ask for. I want to do a bit more travelling in the new year.

I will keep doing my radio shows on Islands FM 107.9 and online on Moorlands Gold which will soon be on DAB in Staffordshire. I hope to be able to return to the airwaves of Bro Radio at some point, and maybe another station or two.

Take care, stay safe, stay well and have the best 2023 you can.

Sending love to you all 😘💖💕

Recipe: Cornflakes coated chicken

Cornflakes coated chicken Inspired by Nigella  In a bowl mix together the following Mustard (of your choice - dijon, whole grain or French) Two cloves of garlic (grated) Egg (to combine) mix well until all ingredients are combined. To this add 2 chicken breast fillets flattened into escallops, let them bathe for a while, while you prepare the coating. In another dish pour some cornflakes , massage them into crumbs, add some paprika or cayenne pepper ( depending on your taste ), mix together. Take the chicken out of your mustard mixture and coat in the cornflakes, make sure you coat well. Fry in a pan until the chicken is cooked. Serve with a nice salad. I used honey nut cornflakes, which wasn't right for the dish due to the sweetness, but the nuttieness worked, I also added chives to the cornflakes. See a video online at https://youtu.be/44FvvRk-FIE

Cons proposals for PIP

Cons proposals for PIP Sunak and his government need flogging - end of! Here are his government's proposals relating to PIP. Awards for claimants with physical health conditions and those with mental health issues were called into question by Sunak. He argued that whilst some people need money for aids such as handrails or stairlifts “Often they’re already available at low cost, or free from the NHS or Local Authorities. And they’re one-off costs so it probably isn’t right that we’re paying an ongoing amount every year.” MY VIEW ON THIS: I need PIP for my motability car, also to get CBD and other natural remedies as I'm not a fan of co-codamol and other pain killers and things to make life easier that I can't get elsewhere, I buy my own walking sticks that go with what I wear, so they blend in and don't stand out, it helps my minds train of thought. In addition, claimants with mental health conditions are to be targeted because “for all the challenges they face it is n...
