Hi everyone,
23rd February 2026. Well, I have been in hospital since very early January. Severe bone infection in my thigh – 7 weeks of daily IV antibiotics. My WAV main problem has been the very limited computing resources here.
There are so many electrical signals buzzing around the place – doctors pagers, visitors on mobiles, staff using computers, ward computers for distribution of medicines; it is crazy.
So if you are still trying to do some work from your laptop, as I have for welfare and WAV, things are not good.
Thus I have dedicated all my time and limited resources into just one issue. That has been the one to get catapults banned due to the amount of wild animals being killed for fun by young people using them. They appear to get a kick out of the killings, as they then go on to boast about it on social media.
All I can really say at present is that us in welfare have now undertaken everything we can at the moment. Future progress now hinges entirely on getting the 100k signatures on the formal government petition so we can then get a formal debate in Parliament.
Thus I urge anyone and everyone to please sign and pass on. THANK YOU.

I am currently still in hospital, but the doc. has just visited and told me hopefully I will be liberated in a few days.
Cosmic !!! – away and back home to much better computing facilities. But I must say that I have had a great time here in hospital. All the nurses have been superb, and the cleanliness everywhere has been 110%+. Really great to see.
Therefore, I am now going back to covering some World animal issues. That starts as of today – 23rd February.
Normality lingers just around the corner, and I am desperate to get back to it !
Regards Mark.
