I am sometimes struck by an idea for a photo that seems to suggest itself to me.
This was the case with this bunch of Daffodils that my wife bought today

Here's an update on my new diet, with a recipe for a great Paleo breakfast.

I am 58 year-old (next week) veteran of the western way of life.

That means that:
- I am likely to be obese (check!)
- I am likely to have high cholesterol (check!)
- I am a good candidate for heart disease (unknown)
- I am likely to have some stomach disorder(s) (check!)
- I will probably have an autoimmune disease or two (check!)

It also means things like I have too much "stuff", I consume more than I need to of the planets resources, and I am probably greedy.

In other words, I am a typically western male of the kind that inhabits the USA, UK, Europe, Australia and increasingly other areas of the world.

I will, if I live long enough, probably consume a disproportionate amount of the medical resources of the UK, which the government seem intent on reducing by any means necessary anyway. And it is likely that I will be in considerable pain, using drugs for pain relief for at least some part of the rest of my life.

Not a pretty picture, but it would seem typical.

So, if there was a way to improve your chances of leading a healthier, possibly pain-free life, would you take it?

Here are my attempts to change what my current health is now (and could be in the future) through dietary and lifestyle changes.

This is the first Christmas I received NO books.
Not a printed one, not an audio one, not an electronic one.
I fear greatly for the future of mankind.
Read why here...

I like to work indoors when the weather is too bad to go out and wander around looking for something to photograph.
From time to time I try new things.

Here's my efforts at shooting glass, with some setup shots.
Enjoy.
