Apologies for missing last weeks blog, I couldn’t get into the system.  Well, it’s come to the point in the year where I have to bugger off for a bit and hibernate.  The minute the clocks go back my mood take a nose-dive.  I don’t get depressed, I just feel a bit flat.  It’s a cycle that started about 10 years ago so I know what to expect, but the important thing is the feeling always passes, so I’ll have sit tight and wait.   Before I slope off, I leave you with a few quotes, and a poem and wish you all a Merry Happy Jingle Balls, and I’ll catch up with you in the New Year…

“Never has there been such a great talent without a touch of madness.”  Seneca

“Being creative isn’t a 9 to 5 job.”   Walton 2.51am 02/08/01

“You can’t book a judge by his cover.”   Walton 13/09/99
 

This is one of three poems that I sent to Sir Spike Milligan.

Eccles I’ve

I’ve had all the years unable to cope

And been down the road with the slippery slope.
 

I’ve suffered the anguish, the pressure and pain

And even heard voices trip round my brain.
 

I’ve taken the tablets, and had E.C.T.

And wonder if now it was right for me.
 

I’ve read all the books, had the forced injection

(Oh bollocks)

I’ve just lost my job on a mental health section!
