Don’t sneeze
Well the last couple of weeks I’ve had a cold, and last week I managed to sneeze and strain one of the ligaments around my sacroilliac joint. So it’s been back to the chiropractor for me and lots of rest.

I’m back
In more ways than one. Firstly, I’m back to writing in this blog after going back to Australia for a month and then just being too lazy to write on here. Ok a lot has been going on, so I can’t possibly catch up here……but instead I’ll talk about the second thing I’m back to………which [...]
