Hi friends, welcome back.

Those of you who follow me on social media may know that over the weekend I ruptured

my Achilles, my right Achilles playing cricket, setting off for a quick single and hit the

deck as if I'd been shot, got taken to the RVI Aini in Newcastle and yeah it was the

diagnosis is that I've shared my Achilles off which is not perfect news, it's going

to be about six to eight months of rehabilitation and walking in a boot, hopefully we'll be getting

my operation this week.

To everyone who has reached out to me, thank you very much.

I mean, no pain, it doesn't hurt which is really super, super bizarre.

The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in your body and you can literally hang a car

off it.

So for that to have snapped in half and me not be in any pain without pain killers seems

pretty surprising but I'm not going to complain.

Yeah, I just want to get this operation done and then get stuck into the rehab.

Obviously it's an opportunity for growth if I can try and frame it in the right way.

The input of any situation is neither good or bad, really it's just our judgments about

it that make it so.

So I'm swimming in stoic philosophy at the moment as you can see to hopefully try and make

me resilient to the coming months.

I'm going to do my absolute utmost to stick to the recording schedule that I promised

you that I would not only because it's something that I know brings a lot of value to your

life, but it's the routine and the creative output that gives purpose to mine.
