It's been a while :-(

Well, for those still checking my blog - I'm sorry I haven't updated it in a while.

I don't really have an excuse - just lazy. I've also had this really annoying back problem which has made me very lazy in a lot of things. It's also prevented my from doing work in the garden which I had planned to do over the last month!!

The problem with my back is basically relating to my sciatic nerve. A disk in my spine is became inflamed about 6 weeks ago (probably from a variety of things - bad posture, straining while doing turns in swimming etc) causing irritation of my sciatic nerve. This is called sciatica and gives pain down my right leg. I'm seeing a physiotherapist and getting good treatment with that....so very slowly things are getting better - slowly but surely :-)

At one stage I was quite bad actually where I had real trouble walking, sitting, sleeping and in pain nearly all the time especially when I moved. Now I can walk reasonably well (but can't run) and I'm swimming again which I'm enjoying.

Well, otherwise not much is happening in my life. And I will try really hard to update this blog more often in future!
