This was originally tha  cover for my music track "Flutterbye" that my good Friend across the pond Doug Johnson did for me but it suddenly struck me how poignant it  was in terms of M.E also, so i adapted the graphics and made some adjustments in terms of tha wings being broken for this M.E picture, sometimes you dont need many words, a picture can say it all dont you think?

The Final Cut!

The longest serving worker  along Goodwood Parade shops on Courtlands Drive in Watford is about to hang up her hairdressing scissors  after sixty one years on the parade, that's sure alot of haircuts, so I caught up with Naomi Coyle to find out how it all started :                   "When I  was thirteen, I used to work Fridays and Saturdays at the Hairdressers , it was called "Malcoms" back then. When I left school at around thirteen/fourteen  I did my apprenticeship there before leaving for a short while, but then  I came back and the shop had a new owner and name "Richards" and I must've worked there for a good forty years.  When Richard retired and the shop closed  I moved over to the other side of the Parade  where owner Julie Allery had the Hair Tech salon and I've been here ever since" There has been alot of filming on the Parade over the years and some of you might remember the  Confused.co...

M.E? shudduppa ya face

For those of you that don’t have M.E let me explain, imagine a time when you’ve had  raging toothache, you know tha kind, where it feels like your  whole heads pulsating and throbbing with pain?  now imagine painkillers don’t work, theres nuthin tha dentist can do so you’re just gonna have to get on with it, live like that everyday probably for tha rest of your life……..now throw flu and a  hangover into tha mix and everyone expects you to carry on as normal?…I’m just giv...

Wednesday 6th May 2015  started out a day like any other. As someone in ill health, I was sitting at my desk in my bedroom working on the laptop, think of todays  Isolation/Lockdown only 24 years worth courtesy of M.E ?  My mother had just entered the bedroom when my phone rang, it was my sister Michele, I did my usual cheery " Hi Smell, you okay?" but she sounded awkward, she asked if mum was with me, at which point Mum came over and sat at the end of my bed thinking I was about to hand the phone over. Then my sister said  " Stacy, I have some bad news"  I immediately thought it was my Dad, I mean  we tend to think  life goes in order don't we, even if that's totally false? which of course it is.  As I felt that  sickening fight or flight adrenaline start to course through my body and braced myself  for   what she was about to say next, absolutely nothing could've  prepared me.  " I'm sorry, it's really ...
