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.

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Bit presumptuous, that... ...to mark us all out as goal-seekers. I like to think of myself as a small but sturdy midfield dynamo. A good performance is always more satisfying than a win.
