dum vita est, spes est

It's always too long between the jabber, I know, but there has been quite a lot going on you see.... Why am I always saying that?.. This has taken over a month from starting to finish

Just over a year ago I was unknowingly walking round with something inside me.. It was growing away, hiding and manipulating the environment and my body so it wouldn't be spotted and attacked until it was too strong. But then it just got a little too big and boy did I notice..

2 days before Christmas I got told by a Doctor what I already knew as I could see it in all of their eyes, every single one of them... from the GP to the A&E Nurses to Scanning Staff and it fell to this young Lady Doc to tell me those worst words you could ever hear..... And the pity in their eyes was probably the most scariest thing of all

And so I was costing the NHS an absolute fortune yet again... My blood adding to the Festive Fun Factor as they couldn't just dive in if they wanted, would need time to get my blood to a place where they could operate... So it was decided that New Years Eve was the day, bloods permitting... Now that's a way to completely screw a Christmas I can tell ya..

And then like only a really good Chemist can they smashed my body up with loads of nasty compounds until it felt like an empty shell, just a breathing walking blob.....

But here I am a whole year later and ...... All clear.. You will never know how much those words mean until you hear them.. for real..

So that's been a little distracting what can I say.. now I am smart enough to know that mucking about with soil and things when your immune system is smashed to pieces by nasty chemicals is not really a good plan plus to be honest ... I really didn't have the energy and for some days... maybe I just couldn't have given a shit.

But I did do something just to be occupied mentally .. most since tbh but a few during

Played with some Black Grass

Tracked some Iron

Raced some Fescue against Poa

Found places that are supposed to be sterile environments are actually the complete opposite

Got to see where Iron Bacteria are most active in a soil profile

Raced some Seed with Mycco Dressing against some without 

Chased a lot of these about

Tried to see if I could blow the doors off this

Set up some Water Testing for pals who are paying a price they didn't realise because of their water supply and my absolute favourite.....

Set up with a pal some really cool MLSN testing.

So I been doing a bit.. but more of all that when its time......... some is good, some is not so, some is down right interesting if hunches are right.... but mainly its all been about getting better.............
