My wife is back in hospital. This time with severe dehydration.

Today is #MentalHealthAwarenessDay. I'm reaching out to anyone who is currently struggling with what is going on in their Life. If you would like a chat with me, do contact me.

The story of a high speed crash. The video is shocking. What is even more shocking is that the driver was 49 years old. So reckless. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... #CarCrash #HighSpeed

My final #OrganDonationWeek post. Making sure your decision, to donate or not, is known is one of the important things you can do. You won't need your organs after you die, but someone else could live a better life because of your decision. Please think seriously about donating. #KidneyCareUK

#OrganDonationWeek continues. I'm nearing my 4th anniversary for my #transplant. The message is to make sure your family knows your decision, no matter which way, so that they follow your views. #KidneyCareUK #Kidney #Donate

Continuing Organ Donation Week. Living donors are heroes to the kidney community. #Heroes #Kidneys #Transplants #KidneyCareUK

This week is Organ Donation Week. Please make sure your wishes are known by others be they to donate your organs or not. Don't forget, once you are dead you don't need them any more. #Kidneys #Donation #Transplant #KidneyCareUK

I'm getting used to people turning up to our door saying they are here to see Sue, my wife, for some medical reason. More people have come into our home in the last few weeks than as many years.

My wife, Sue, is finally out of #hospital and back #home following her #stroke. She has me running around after her as she is still confined to bed as she can't walk or stand.

Sue, my wife, is now out of #hospital and getting me to run around the house doing everything at her beck and call. #Unfair? She can't walk. Now that's unfair. The #stroke to that away from her.

#MusicChallenge It's been a while since I last submitted a track for consideration on this platform. I feel that restarting as if nothing has happened is wrong. So, why the gap? As I have mentioned before, my wife is in hospital, having had a stroke. I visit her every day. 1/2

#MusicChallenge Day 109 #MyFavouriteGame by #TheCardigans (1998) I love the guitar hook and the great vocals. Don't try driving like this at home. youtu.be/6Ll5y2hZdCI

#MusicChallenge Day 108 #IWish by #StevieWonder (1976) From the start, a really nice and fat bass line, I just love the up-tempo vibe of this track. Plus the punchy brass section. Just #FANTASTIC youtu.be/Me-HOoM-3D4

#MusicChallenge Day 107 #LowRider by #War (1975) I first heard this track whilst watching #CheechAndChong's #UpInSmoke. To my uneducated ears it sounds like a simple tune but it gets in touch with my soul and stays there. #Greatvibe. youtu.be/BsrqKE1iqqo

#MusicChallenge I've been looking at the tracks on my list and I just want to play them all. #HappyPlace

#MusicChallenge Day 106 #DrivingWheels by #JimmyBarnes (1988) A brilliant track by this Australian powerhouse of a vocalist, former and current frontman of band #ColdChisel, "one of Australia's best-loved groups". No mullets were harmed in the making of this video. youtu.be/jQn7_EtIhUg

#MusicChallenge Day 105 #CultOfPersonality by #LivingColour (1988) I used to be a DJ at a rock club. This was a very popular track. No one cared that they were people of (living) colour. Such power in this track. youtu.be/7xxgRUyzgs0

#MusicChallenge Day 104 #Backstabbers by #TheO'Jays (1972) I'm very conscious that I have listed very few tracks by people of colour. I intend to change that in the next 100 tracks. Although I like rock, a great from any genre is universal. The O'Jays is one from my childhood. youtu.be/UCY6flzgfA4

#MusicChallenge Day 103 #StoppedClock by #MidnightEleven My love of the music of #DannyKortchmer knows no bounds. Here is a track from the Midnight Eleven album which probably went past most people unnoticed. Which is a shame as it's a great album. youtu.be/Tri4Bg2_tik

#MusicChallenge Day 102 #NeanderthalMan by #Hotlegs (1970) As a fan of #10cc I just had to hear this track. The video shows three out of four of the 10cc band. It reminds me of something, but I just can't place it. Do you know it? #EricStewart #LolCream #KevinGodley youtu.be/0e0qYP_PTlY

#MusicChallenge Day 101 #FieldsOfAthenry by #DropkickMurphys (2004) My friend, #BrianSpence, used to play this track in his regular live set. I hadn't heard it before. I searched the internet and came across the Dropkick Murphys version. The song sounds old, but isn't. #folk youtu.be/pGMfJ-5E4Ao

#MusicChallenge Day 100 #Sabastian by #SteveHarleyAndCockneyRebel (1973) @radiocaroline.bsky.social has just reminded me of this classic. Completely different from anything else at the time (or since?). youtu.be/emBUr-vO9ZI

#MusicChallenge Day 99 #DancingTheNightAway by #TheMotors (1977) A frenetic track by The Motors, a pub-rock band from London. I had the pleasure of sitting next to #NickGarvey at a church wedding and reception. Does singing hymns at a wedding mean I can claim I sung with him? youtu.be/a8X1EKyhLHw

#MusicChallenge Day 98 #LilyThePink by #TheScaffold One from my childhood. The Scaffold were, R to L, #MikeMcGear, #PaulMcCartney's brother, comedian #JohnGorman #Tiswas and poet #RogerMcGough. Tiswas was an amazing Saturday morning TV show, which I watched with a hangover youtu.be/2x8D4T--0v4

#MusicChallenge Day 97 #Ghosts by #Japan (1982) This track is a timeless piece, with minimal musical compliment. It came out when I was 21 and, initially, I wasn't a fan. A "live" version from #TopOfThePops. A clip without a serial abusers hosting the show. #RichardSkinner youtu.be/7zzLU1ato2w

#MusicChallenge Day 96 #SugarSugar by #TheArchies (1969) I remember seeing this video on #TopOfThePops, when I was 8, and thinking this was amazing. Has it stood the test of time? I don't think so, but still good to hear once ever few years. 🤣 youtu.be/j3plj_Xplus

#MusicChallenge Day 95 #EveryTimeIThinkOfYou by #TheBabys (1978) A song for the ages. Great song and one that I really love. Lead singer, #JohnWaite, also formed the band #BadEnglish with #Journey's #NealSchon, #JonathanCain (also in The Babys) and others. youtu.be/nz3m5fOKV5U

#MusicChallenge Day 94 #TinSoldier by #SmallFaces (1968) One of the greatest tracks of all time. An amazing powerful performance by #SteveMarriott (with #PPArnold in this click). The intensity in which SM puts into this is quite astonishing. #MUSTWATCH youtu.be/6vWTtx_PxPo

#MusicChallenge Day 93 #Unbreakable by #FM (2010) This is a track that has buried itself into my brain. I would call it an #earworm if I didn't want it there but, to be honest, it's a great track and I don't mind great tracks being in my brain. youtu.be/89rWs9qkq2Y

#MusicChallenge Day 92 #DrivingAwayFromHome by #It'sImmaterial (1986) I just heard this track on @radiocaroline.bsky.social and what a joy to hear it again. I know it is one of my wife's (Sue) favourites. Originally from #Liverpool and members of the band #Yachts. youtu.be/6h_MPpXdHLI

#MusicChallenge Day 91 #HadaDream(SleepingwiththeEnemy) by #RogerHodgson (1984) If you like #Supertramp you are going to love this track. Roger, who used to be a member of Supertramp, continues following his departure. Apparently, this is a first time live performance. youtu.be/puAeFwRFh3Q

#MusicChallenge Day 90 #TheresAGhostInMyHouse by #RDeanTaylor (1967) One from my childhood. I love hearing this. It has the great Motown sound. Still love it. Just read that it was hit as a #NorthernSoul song, which I can really hear. youtu.be/XSnRbu1brU0

#MusicChallenge Day 89 #SomethingInTheAir by #ThunderclapNewman (1969) I missed this track when I was growing up, and eventually heard it in 1979. Just listened to it again on @radiocaroline.bsky.social and it reminded me what a great track it is. youtu.be/qJae3Q2l-BY

#MusicChallenge Day 88 #OneManOneVote by #JohnnyCleggAndSavuka (1989) South African anti-apartheid activist. His band drew such a large crowd in Lyon (France) that #MichaelJackson cancelled a concert there, complaining that Clegg and his group had "stole[n] all his fans". youtu.be/DPP3wo1F3r4

Should have known it was going to rain today after I took the cover off our garden parasol last night. #kidney #transplant #sun-sensitivity #skin-cancer

There's nothing worse than waiting on an Amazon delivery, and the page is saying you're next, but the van is getting further away. Okay, there are things much worse, but we've all been there.

#MusicCahllenge Day 87 #IDon'tLikeMondays by #TheBoomtownRats (1979) I was 18 in 1979. This wasn't what I was listening to. I was more into #LedZeppelin and #Yes. However, this is a terrific song and has stood the test of time. Well done, #SirBob youtu.be/-Kobdb37Cwc

#MusicChallenge Day 86 #SilverStar by #TheFourSeasons (1976) I had this one in my record collection. Not sure how I got it. Perhaps from my brother. However, I like it as it was sung, not by #FrankieValley but by #GerryPolci, the drummer of the band. No #falsetto here. 🤣 youtu.be/KehwtQuVVPI

#MusicChallenge Day 85 (sorry, I've messed up the numbering) #ILoveYouLikeABallAndChain by #Eurythmics I remember seeing this on the #BBC's #OldGreyWhistleTest and then found on the B-side of #SistersAreDoingItForThemselves I love the #phasing on the record. #Biographical? youtu.be/svGpEQa89u8

#MusicChallenge Day 83 #HeavenIs10ZillionLightYearsAway by #StevieWonder (1974) The whole of the album, #Fulfillingness'FirstFinale is a brilliant, BRILLIANT! album. An easy to recommend one. Your record collect is incomplete unless you have it. If you don't have it, buy NOW! youtu.be/vSMUyUft2Zk

#MusicChallenge Day 82 #MenWithoutShame by #PhantomRockerAndSlick (1985) As someone who stayed from music charts, I had heard of #TheStrayCats but wasn't that familiar with their music. However, I loved this track. Pure genius. Loved the album too. I need to play it again. youtu.be/hwJCed4VzZA

#MusicChallenge Day 82 #Johannesburg by #GilScott-Heron (1976) I remember a #BBC show called #Arena, which focussed on GSH. It was an interview with some music. By the end of the show I was looking to get his music. The clip if from the #BBC's #OldGreyWhistleTest youtu.be/hkjYsZKGrFU

#MusicChallenge Day 81 #Anthem by #TheHelloPeople I only discovered this track a few years back, but what a track. Summed up really well by #TheSmothersBrothers about hearing everyone's opinions. After all, we are free to express opinions even if you disagree with them. youtu.be/H2MiODsMY30

#MusicChallenge Day 80 #TheLebanon by #TheHumanLeague (1984) The jangly guitar on this is brilliant, along with the bass line. The Lebanon was Christian led, with western freedoms permitted. With increasing number of Muslims that balance changed, then civil war erupted. youtu.be/TH-_bsCwdRw

My wife, Sue, will be coming home next week for the first time since she had a stroke back in March. She is still unable to stand or walk, however, she is determined not to be restricted. We are both anxious about the support that we will get going forward. #NHS #Worthing #Penguins #GrumpyFace

#MusicChallenge Day 79 #AloneAgainOr by #Love (1968) One of my top tracks. To me this is timeless. Covered by #TheDamned, #TheBooRadleys, #Calexico, #UFO and more. youtu.be/cPbNpIG8x_s

#MusicChallenge Day 78 #Fuel by #AniDiFranco (1998) Frustration = except all the radios agree with all the tvs and all the magazines agree with all the radios and i keep hearing that same damn song everywhere i go youtu.be/oTJFUg6N2XA Demand better, listen to @radiocaroline.bsky.social

#MusicChallenge Day 77 #Gangsters by #TheSpecials One of the classic songs from the #TwoTone era. Still a great sound. youtu.be/lgCZN1rU5co

#MusicChallenge Day 76 #OneWorld by #JohnMartyn (1977) My mind tends to be very active, so it is great to come across a track which calms it right down every time. youtu.be/hkc1ldMtdOk

#MusicChallenge Day 75 #TheDuchessOfOrleans by #BabeRuth (1975) Another from my brother's collection. In this case it was an earworm which I didn't want to get rid of. #JennyHaan is an amazing singer and the band were sadly overlook. youtu.be/81OKRnAe-A4 Also see The Mexican youtu.be/81OKRnAe-A4
