Bah, humbug!

I was hoping to write some interesting posts in this blog today, having broken off from my writing work for a week or so. However, I now find I have a dreadful cold just in time for Christmas and the chances of me writing anything interesting are zero.

So I'll just wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Now, where's that box of tissues...

G.I.STEVE

I think that Stephen Fry is a wonderful entertainer and his recent documentaries about bipolar disorder and HIV have been excellent, too. In conjunction with the latest documentary on HIV, a new website has been created called G.I.JONNY to help raise awareness of the problems of HIV amidst fears that people are becoming complacent about the disease. Part of what you can do is create your own ID (hence the picture) and use it to help spread the word, but there are other things you can do, too. Anything that helps increase awareness of such a powerful health issue is deserving of support.

[By the way, for those of you who don't know, jonny is a nickname for a condom that goes back to a time before I was born - ancient history to some, I know.]
