Where have I been? 

Back in 2006 my Internet Service Provider was bought by VirginMedia.  During the change-over they reset my password and forgot to tell me they had reset it.  Apparently, I had 28 days to change my password but they didn't tell me that either!  So, when I got round to changing it I wasn't allowed to and their "Help" Desk told me that the time limit had expired and there was no way they could do anything about it.  I asked them to delete the site and they said that was impossible as only the User was allowed to do that by using the password.  A wonderfully Kafka-esque catch 22! 

A couple of years later I started to have some sporadic but fairly major health problems, including a heart rythym issue and a minor stroke, all now resolved and I pretty much stopped playing for a couple of years. Or at least I didn't play to any extent worth reporting.  I sort of lost interest in website publishing until in 2013 a very good mate and Top, 1sw1tch persuaded me to re-awaken this site from its slumber, so I needed to find a suitable host.

Then a very good friend CPMan offered to host my website and this went live around Easter 2014.  So why have I not done any updates since then?  Well, I've not been playing!  For a reason.  Shortly after Xmas I went to play with a new Top who used a split cane on me!  I could hear that the cane was split but he assured me it was OK and carried on.  When I got home there was quite a lot of blood in my jeans and a patch of very raw skin on my butt.  Somehow this got infected and had refused to heal up until I got some expert medical help recently.  The area has become a "Weak Spot" and the skin breaks very easily so play is kinda at the back of my mind at the moment.  I am writing this while staying with CPMan in the USA. I took a pretty heavy beating five days ago and had minor bleeding and this seems to have healed OK so we aim to play again before I fly home on Wednesday 11th April. After that, I plan to take a complete rest now until, probably, at least August 2014 so as to allow it to really heal fully.

So that explains the hiatus in keeping my site up to date.
