Back on the Blog
It’s been a busy year since our holidays in Japan.
I lost my dear dear Mum to Cancer in February, after a relatively short period in hospital.
My Brother and Sister came over from England, but were too late to see her alive.
It has been the saddest time of my life since she left us.
I think of her everyday…….
I have done some more travel to Chile since then, 2 trips of 2 weeks each, and a short 3 day’er in Townsville.
Where possible I have done Aikido training, but it’s been hard of late due to either travel or the weight I have put back on since travelling over the last 18 months.
I have graded though and passed my gradings up to and including Jun-Shodan, so my next grading is in December for my Shodan (1st Dan black belt), hopefully I’ll be around for training as I’ll need all three months of training to get my head straight for the techniques in the grading.
One thing I am looking forward to is November, or what’s now going to be Movember for me, as I plan on shaving my Moustache to raise funds for Prostate Cancer and Male Depression charities.
My Movember website link is http://au.movember.com/mospace/1355411 so please drop by and donate, I’ll be posting messages and photos of the progress when I can.
Vic and I are going to the gym now, but getting up at 5am is a real hard slog, it’s ok once your up, but the self-talk to convince yourself to get out of bed is madness.
I’ve said it before, but I am planning to be a bit more regular in my postings, just don’t expect them to have anything in common, as most of you that know me know that I can be a bit eclectic.
Cheers…Mark
