I have just realised that I’ve been contributing to the local newspapers since June 2014. I am slightly surprised by the fact that I continue to come up with new ideas and stories on a weekly basis. I just happened to be approached and accepted the challenge in my usual enthusiastic way.
Having said that, I now get a great deal of positive feedback in my inbox on a weekly basis, and it is lovely to know that readers are gaining some pleasure from my work. Even my doctor commented recently, which totally threw me as he was carrying out my prostate examination at the time. My reply was quite high pitched.
Not the conversation I was expecting and not that I have a prostate issue – but I’m at the age where regular check-ups are advisory.
If you are male and of a mature age then make sure you also have a regular check up of anything that might be worrying you. You can thank me later.
