We need things to look forward to. I am a big believer in this. For mum and I one of our loves is a good musical. We’ve recently seen Bedknobs & Broomsticks and 9 to 5. Both were seen at Manchester’s Palace Theatre and both were brilliant.
Bedknobs & Broomsticks was magical, marvellous and spectacular. Everything about it was wonderful, the cast and singing, the chorography, the costume and the props which included puppets.
9 to 5 was equally thrilling. A great cast, fantastic chorography and hilariously funny as well. It even had cameo video appearances from Dolly Parton.
And we’ve got this to look forward to in January 2023:

In June, I visited the Welsh Mountain Zoo with my good friend Simon. Here are some photos from the day:
In June I also tested positive for COVID-19. It floored me. I didn’t have any of the usual COVID symptoms: no cough, no temperature and no changes to my sense of taste or smell. Instead I had the following symptoms:
Exhaustion
An intermittent rash
Lumps on my hands
Headaches
Insomnia
I had been double vaccinated, used the face masks and remembered about social distancing. It made me so ill, I was off work and generally out of action for nearly 6 weeks.
Part of the reason I haven’t blogged recently, is as following COVID I had to catch up on a Certificate in Counselling Skills I had signed up to at my local college. I am pleased to announce, that subject to external moderation, I’ve successfully passed the course. I’m now about to start undertaking another course a Certificate in Mental Health Awareness.
The great thing about these courses offered at my local college, is that they’re free. Unless you don’t complete them, then you have to pay £125 – a good incentive to get them done.
At the moment I’m struggling with a double ear infection, meaning an infection in both ears. Its been very painful. But thankfully I’m on some antibiotics now that seem to be doing the trick.

Conwy Town has little else to offer, apart from the Castle visit.

My dear friend Roy decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and enlist in the Royal Navy.
I wanted to maintain our friendship, to continue to support Roy, to make him laugh and to entertain him. So I came up with the idea of sending him a weekly email on random topics.
These emails were on a variety of topics, always being entertaining, sometimes being interesting, sometimes funny and occasionally being serious.
Topics included: Jokes, Puzzles, Inspirational Quotes, Future Technology to Be Excited About, How to Fight A Shark, How to Woo A Turtle, Some of the Most Amazing Jobs in the World, Facts About Castles, Do Aliens Exist?, The Kindest Humans, A List of Cakes, 13 Weird Body Facts, 20 Super Space Facts, Ancient Egyptian Curses, 10 Weird Olympic Games, The Great Emu War of 1932, Quiz: Flags of the World, Legendary Characters from the UK and others.
My Royal Navy Friend is a copy of these emails. In total, there are 52 emails. Dispersed throughout the book are also Royal Navy facts and stories.
