New followers: welcome!

Lovely to see you all.

Thought you ought to know that I have Stage 4 #bowelcancer.

As well as posting dog & landscape pics and musings on #planninglaw I sometimes share my #cancer experiences.

I haven't been that forthcoming recently as things have been tough.

Damn, I knew this guy was good but it's well worth watching and paying attention to @ishankolhatkar.com's sage advice.

Even seasoned (sage being a lovely seasoning) advocates should be able to set aside their curmudgeon sticks and learn a thing or two.
