Learning about new things, playing the few chords I know on my guitar, learning new chords, reading. Just discovered kettlebell training ... wow, what a workout!

I live and work as a self employed courier in Bournemouth, a town on the south coast of the UK. Actually, it's just outside town in the middle of a little forest. I am either sitting at home tapping the keyboard of my computer working on my website www.healthandwellnessportal.co.uk or driving my van for a freight forwarding company etc.

I always try to learn new things and usually have between 3 or 4 books open at a time. Actually, I probably end up confusing myself most of the time ;) I believe most people can be much healthier and happier by improving diet and lifestyle etc and steering clear of junk and pharmaceutical drugs etc. Like everyone else, I do have my own challenges. With me it's stress and fatigue. Stress is hard to knock on the head completely but I understand it's a natural part of life anyway. The fatigue is probably due to a mineral deficiency and the fact that I had colitis in the past. No other symptoms for many many years though, which is great!!

Well, that's it I guess. The rest is even more boring!!
