In Hospital

-
I don't remember much about last Friday, 6th of February. I took Claire for her massage with the Ukrainian lady. After lunch I had a nap then took Reggie the dog for a walk.

I couldn't tell you what happened then until I woke up in the Kent and Canterbury Hospital on Saturday. 

It seems I have encephalitis.  It's buggered our plans for this month. I might be here for another week. The docs and their consultant said it wasn't stroke.


The van was supposed to go into the caravan repair place in Lympne next Tuesday, 17th Feb.

The weekend is Claire's birthday. I have had to cancel. 

I am amid an intensive antibiotic and antivirus course. Delivered by liquid into veins in my arms and hands.

The bruises are pretty spectacular.

I have been referred to neurology.

Greetings of peace and love!

We are holding Paul Devall close in prayer and entrusting him to the unfathomable mercy of Jesus. The Shalom prayer family will remember him in our intercessions, asking for healing, strength, and peace for him, and comfort for his family during this difficult time.

In moments like this, it helps to remember that our Heavenly Father sees every tear and every fear. As Scripture tells us, “You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle” (Psalm 56:8). None of this is hidden from God. He is close to you, close to Paul, and close to his family. Our Lord is the Divine Healer, and His Word assures us: “He sent out His word and healed them and delivered them from destruction” (Psalm 107:20).

We will continue to pray that Jesus, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother, will touch Paul with His healing hands and strengthen him with courage and peace. May God bless you abundantly and fill your heart with His peace.

Roadtest - Suzuki VZ800 Marauder

This road-test was originally published in 1997 on the original SOC Geocities hosted website and transferred over here when Yahoo killed off Geocities. When Suzuki offered to let me have the VZ800 Marauder for a week or two to test, I was very happy to have a 'free' bike for the duration of two big runs to the BMF/ACU National Rally and a Suzuki Owners Club Scotland trip. At the southern entrance to Glen Coe  The only factory custom bike I have ever ridden before was an early Yamaha XS400 back in the early Eighties. It had not endeared me to custom bikes! After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...

Roadtest - Suzuki TU250X

(Originally written and published on the old Geocities hosted SOC website in 1997)   With the UK Government thinking of ways to force commuters onto public transport on the one hand, soaking the motorist with the other hand - road tolls, commuting into City tolls, increased in Vehicle Excise Duty on top of another hike in petrol tax, the motorcycle couldn't be better placed to provide personal transport when you want it, in a more 'environmentally friendly' way. So when I was offered the latest addition to the Suzuki commuter range, the TU250X, I was actually quite looking forward to trying a bike that might fit the bill for the beleaguered commuter of the future. During my trips to Spain this Spring, I saw quite a few TU's on the streets in Murcia. Although not as popular as the Yamaha SR250, there were significantly more than you'd see in any UK town. The Mediterranean weather is far more attractive for people to consider biking. Most of the ci...
