Well … I think my task is done.
After 392 blogs (393 today) my writing has improved immeasurably. After my stroke I couldn’t pronounce a single word and I couldn’t write a single sentence down. Now, I have the ability to write my thoughts in a coherent way – it takes me five times longer than before, but I can do it.
So my reason for this blog has evaporated. I have other things that I can do now: cello playing; Aphasia advocacy; self-speech therapy work; walking/bike riding/tramping; photography; ….
Thanks for my loyal followers. It was a ‘blast’!
If you want to catch up on my writing, I have a ‘review’ blog now – a personal opinion of concerts and performances that I have seen.
The address is: https://dmsreviewblog.wordpress.com

Hi Stephen, I really liked your summary of the Streams under Wellington CBD. Its late notice but I just wanted to invite you to a walkover that The Sustainability Society are running this evening. We will be tracing the streams and talking about the issues of stormwater management in the city. We are meeting at the top of Woodward Street at 4:30pm.
Cheers
Ben
