Driving resumed

You'll be pleased to hear that I have resumed driving again and am using one crutch to walk distances.

Today is the 61st anniversary of Hiroshima's great tragedy and we are still condoing the use of bombs and rockets upon vulnerable people in the 21st century. We are still animals who scratch and bite except we are now sufficiently sophisticated to use precision bombing. When will we get to be human?

Pain in my leg and in other legs

The stitches were peacefully removed from my left thigh in my GP's surgery this afternoon but owing to the infection requiring several stitches to be removed prematurely the wound has not fully healed and still requires antibiotics, treating and dressing. So, I stay with the crutches and let the cobwebs cover my Honda City languishing neglected in its garage detained without trial.

During the time when the infection raged through my leg, this dreadful war between Israel and Hezballah/Lebanon has caused wounds far deeper than mine. In pain, my heart goes out to those who are bleeding, who are weeping, who are fleeing. I am on the side of the victims on both sides of the border and to the aggressors on both sides of the borders, I yell, "Stop!" in a voice fit to carry right over there amidst the noise, and hope your voice joins with mine.
