Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

~ Billy Mann

Of course there are…

I’m not going to slap your face with a lecture on the difference between verbs and nouns again because there are things I practiSe each day that keep me at the top of my game and you need to know about. First is medication. Four types, a delicious cocktail my doctor is really quite proud to have hit upon. That done I practiSe French with a Duolingo dominatrix called Lily. Lily points me in all the right directions and overall considers me a solid performer. My big problem, Lily says, is gender and number. They need to agree, she says, but mine are all over the place. Could do better, etc. Still, number 23 in the Emerald League is not a bad place to be. Sustainable? Probably not. If I don’t pull my socks up I’ll be back in the Ruby League in no time and Lily will have that disappointed look on her face (see below).

I'm originally from Liverpool and worked as a national magazine journalist for more than 30 years before suffering a stroke at age 53. I started blogging as part of a neuro-rehabilitation programme and wrote the very first entries with one finger of my disabled left hand. Later, art became another therapy for me at Headway East London's Submit To Love Studios. I write about my daily activities and encounters. In 1988, I married Jane. We are still together today, sharing our lives and making each other laugh.
