My partner asked me how I was doing on the phone. She remarked how I was managing with the changes well and I mentioned a quote I heard recently.
I won’t/can’t take credit but it speaks volume about right now… The quote came from the head of R&D which he was reminded of via the chief scientist.
“Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

I honestly can’t really believe its 10 years since my brush with death.
Its been a long time and something I will never ever forget, 10 years ago after the general election of 2010. Will never forget how different the world was after I woke up in hospital and someone (pretty sure it was my sister) told me the liberal democrats have gone into collation with the conservatives.
5 years ago I did a catch up of what happened 10 years ago.
5 years ago, I was discharged from hospital
5 years ago, The best Hello world message
5 years ago… my BBC colleagues wrote
5 years ago, while I was lying in a bed
Even closer to the time, I wrote a reflective blog with thank you posts (part 1) (part 2)
I still have the cards and plan to put them up again, so look out for them if you happen to be on a zoom with me.
As we are still in lockdown due to Covid-19, there won’t be a party. To be fair last years 3 birthday celebration was pretty epic. But I do have plans for a zoom call or something later in the month. Look out for the invite…
