‘This Is Not Here’

Hi everyone, just a quick update. As many of you will know, I have suffered from Multiple Sclerosis MS since being involved with aerospace ground engineering in the Balkans conflict around 1999.

With MS, it is a condition of personal ups and down, severe pain – bed rest being the only ‘help’. So currently I have spent the entire year 2026 in bed attempting to battle through this current relapse.

Anything and everything related to WAV, which has not been a lot, has operated from the bedroom for the last week or more. Today, 8th, i am starting to feel little body signs that tell me there is some positive movement.

Boy o boy do I want to get back to working for the animals – tomorrow I am being allowed to get up for 5 hours, so some progress.

This is a thing that all of us with the condition regularly experience.

So that is my own personal experience at the moment. Things will improve over coming weeks, but trust me there is loads in the ‘Archive’ section on the left which covers past posts on a monthly basis. See you all soon, regards Mark.

UK – King Charles Gardener Says Plant Just One Flower To Make Robins Flock To Your Home.

Measuring a mere 12 to 14 centimetres in length, the beautiful European Robin for decades has been recognised as the national bird of the UK.

Although this classification has never been officially certified by the UK government, but is accepted by bird organisations, charities and the British public who have supported this call in many polls over the years.

England – The Animal Welfare Strategy.

The nations which make up the United Kingdom has very many citizens who care deeply for animals. As sentient beings, they are capable of showing fear, pain, pleasure and joy. It is our collective responsibility to provide them with the best in whatever ways we can. 85% of British adults agree that we have a moral duty to protect animals and their welfare.

Here is the new animal welfare strategy by the English Government published in December 2025.
