In Limburg, South Holland near the Dutch German border.

It is a classical grey Amsterdam day today real spring weather that almost feels like autumn.

Oh well have to find some sun within today.

Have found myself thinking alot about stem cell research lately even dreamed last night that I was given some stem cells and the day after my toes started to move again.

What a wonderful dream that was really good but sadly just a dream and not reality.

I know that it will take some time for scientists to come up with something that will stop the progress of MS let alone a cure for it.

Right now they are still not too sure how it is caused, there is a theory that there is penetration of the barrier round the brain and it is known that the myelin layer that protects nerves gets damaged.

This seems to work abit like a frayed electric cable and causes shorts, think I recognize something here.

And that is the little sensations that I get which feel like an electric shock and are gone as quick too.

Hope something starts to happen soon and there is some progress to give people abit of hope that their conditions could get better.

Even if it were only a small improvement I would take anything to have more bodily functions.

A pleasant daydream as I did the am exercises and then Richie massaged my legs after which he brought me baclofen pills (3) and thc and food supplement drink.

He pushed the table in position over the bed and placed the laptop on it and instantly I was connected to the world,which is great.

Happy 5 May it's Liberation Day here in The Netherlands.

A friend's garden in Wales.


It was a pleasant Easter weekend and surprise surprise even the weather played its part and it was warm and sunny.

Sadly not everyone had good weather, remember many rainy weekends when I was still working what a wind up it could be.

All week at work it would be beautiful weather and hey presto come Saturday morning it would be raining and go on all weekend.

Then on the Monday morning it would be brilliant weather for work!

Today it’s lovely again now I can appreciate it, this morning when the children were gathering for an exciting day at the Fijnhout theatre opposite I felt differently.

Tried to drift off to sleep again once the kids had gone into the theatre sadly Spike's timing was impeccable and he started to flap his ears.

They are like pistol shots going off so after that did not succeed in sleeping again as the usual MS pain became noticeable again.

Did my arm exercises and then Richie worked his usual magic with the leg massage and THC and baclofen for leg spasms.

After that I was quite ready to start the day and was rather looking forward to the visit from my lovely friend Marianne and seeing the photos of her weekend in Limburg.
