'The vessel, named Louise Michel after a French feminist anarchist, set off in secrecy on 18 August from the Spanish seaport of Burriana, near Valencia, and is now in the central Mediterranean where on Thursday it rescued 89 people in distress, including 14 women and four children.'

I have some good news - kind of. There are only two buttons that are part of me that you shouldn't ever press. The first is to try to  bully me, and the second is to attempt to blackmail me. An almost unbelievable situation occurred yesterday afternoon, whereby somebody completely unknown to me came up to me while I was sat in my car in a car park near my house and pressed both buttons. This is a situation that I have never experienced before, and rendered me unable to think as rationally as I would do under normal circumstances. You will most probably consider what follows to be an exaggerated rendition of events. I truly wish that it were. To cut a long story short you first and foremost need to understand that I am, and have always been, a pacifist. However, last night I went to a place where I have never been before. Now, this bits going to shock the living daylights out of you, I reckon. The thing is, my wife, and soul partner, had to spend many hours with me comforting me and gently guiding me onto a path that led to a return to my true self. So, where was it that she led me away from? It is with some considerable trepidation that I can inform you that she led me away from the path that would result in me, quite rightly, being classed as a murderer. It'll sound a bit dramatic to you, no doubt, but believe me I 'went there'. 

The thing is, I wasn't angry, furious etc, I was simply intent on eradicating this persons existence on this planet. Seeing as I'm being brutally honest, you should know that I have only ever allowed one person to bully me in my life. It's possibly odd, and definitely unfortunate, but that person happens to be my own father. It would be fair to say that his reign of terror throughout my life was both constant and monumental. I'm no psychiatrist but I heavily suspect that my intentions towards yesterday's bully was probably somehow connected to my dad, but don't know.

Anyway, it's over now, and I'm the 'me' that I am happy and comfortable with. The 'me' that I never ever want to lose like that again. So, I guess that that is my good bit of news.

It's better to be pacifist than a bully... I'd consider myself easily annoyed but I try not to be annoying.. And fail sometimes.... 

I'm glad your feeling yourself again old son.. 

I had the best hospital appointment ever.. I got up 9.15 phone goes yak yak yak MRI in a few weeks... Its the future..

Oh wow. I'm sorry you were in a situation that made you feel that way. But very happy and relieved you're back to your usual happy self again, and that your lovely wife was there for you. 

Lots of love to you both Mr & Mrs Yog 😊

Take care.

Sometimes it’s hard to turn the other cheek, stay in control and properly manage a situation when things like this happen when you least expect it.  Glad things worked out for you. I can imagine you spent quite a few hours after the incident trying to come to terms with what happened. 

[Losing my hair]

Hi @Yoghurt on a Stick, that sounds awful. I'm glad you manged to get past the feelings of destruction that you felt towards the perpetrator and that you are now back in a good place with help from your wife. Hopefully they will get their comeuppance one day - I'm a great believer in karma.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Hello all,

Thanks ever so much for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated. Not only that but they have helped me to rebuild and reinforce my foundations of decency. I know that I'm out of the danger zone now, but naturally enough, I'm still quite shaken. I guess that it's like any shock to the system, in that it'll take a bit of time to get over. In addition to all that it's a beneficial learning curve, I'd say. I would certainly hope so, as I never want to tread that path again. Cheers folks.

Must admit this summer there seems to be more wildlife in evidence, not only animals but raptors and sadly bloody big horseflys! Possibly because I’ve spent more time in the hills and countryside instead of at festivals! Hopefully back to normal next summer!

Love Whitby, walkup to the Abbey, wandering around shops etc also nice places around it, Sandsend village has a great walk along the Cleveland way, Robins Hood bay, north York’s moors  also nice to visit.  Fish and chips over rated but that’s because as Scots we were reared on haddock not cod!😉
