Meh, adequate. Knavish Proclivities and Boisterous Intent “I’ve got a reputation of being a man with a gift of words…a romantic poetic type, or so they say”
As a lot of you know I suffered a stroke in the early morning of the 21/3 - I was able to call an ambulance, apparently it arrived within 15 minutes, I was admitted directly to the Stroke Unit at the RVI Newcastle. I was discharged on 28/3. My recovery has been solely due to the
amazing work of the paramedics, Consultants, junior doctors, nurses and therapists of our amazing NHS. It is not safe in the hands of our current government

For those closely following the Lionel soap opera; I’ve finally got my MRI report through: all good news. No surgery needed. Discharged from the Cardiac team- GP only. Oh, apparently I had a heart attack at some point….felt nowt! Aa’m a Geordie man xx
For anyone who’s interested, I had a meeting today to confirm that after my stroke and diagnosis of viral myocarditis I’m returning to work on 20th November. They’ve created a role for me to mentor and support other managers. Which, funnily enough I used to charge a ridiculous
I’m gonna come clean…returning to work has been harder than I’ve told you. I’m finding it so hard to concentrate, making me frustrated and quick to lose my temper. The effects of the stroke have been worse than I thought.
Keep going, I suppose ♥️
Hey everyone, it’s coming up to a year since I had my stroke and was diagnosed as having severe heart failure (and apparently had a heart attack) for the past few weeks I’ve been having an emotional struggle coming to terms with it. Apologies if my tweets start to sound a bit
I love seeing those pictures of those of you with your partners and the love you have for each other…but I really miss having someone special to share my life with….it’s been 8 years since me and ex Mrs Nutmeg split
I really should cork the rum for the night, shouldn’t I….?
I have returned!!! Stroke and dodgy heart intact, still can't access me phone as yet, so I've had to set a new account up.
Please follow me if you want to be filled with my nonsense. Just not as much yet
Just got the results from my 72 hr heart monitor last month: normal sinus rhythm with no signs of atrial fibrillation…so that’s nice. Just waiting for my MRI report and we’ll see if i need surgery 🤞🏻
If you would update your spreadsheets, please x
So….I’m spending the Bank Holiday weekend finalising my application for a job that looks ideal for me…Mentoring and Coaching staff in the NHS. It’s what I did as a Management Consultant with my own business, before private companies took a lend…anyway, wish me luck ♥️
It’s Ms Nutmeg’s birthday today…a daughter to make me proud…a wonderful career, an amazing mother…the funniest, most sarcastic woman you could ever meet.
A fighter in life…a mender of broken wings. A beautiful soul. A beautiful woman. Happy birthday, Jessica ❤️❤️❤️
Mama Nutmeg, at the age of 77, is flying to Kefalonia, alone, for two weeks tomorrow morning. The first time she’s ever been by herself on holiday….
I’m so proud of her ♥️♥️
Four years….FOUR!! Since dad died. My role model. My hero. He taught me how to be a good man. Everything good I’ve done as a father and grandpa comes directly from him

I’m sure his grandma would be so proud of him - she was a nurse for people with learning disabilities at the hospital I worked in and him using slurs like that would have filled her heart with pride!!
Forgot to update granddaughter last night: she’s tired, sore and very pale; but happy to be home. Had sofa snuggles from her, her sister and her mum last night.
Operation went well, she’s on antibiotics, pain relief and she needed a transfusion yesterday….xxx
Quite an emotional morning, a close friend who I’ve known since nursery school got in touch with me - he’s the first one I’ve told about the stroke. Cue tears from Lionel and sobbing from Nurfringen Norman (not his real name). We’re in touch with our emotions, what can I say? ❤️
Good morning my friends…had a bit of a blip yesterday, but I’m feeling a bit brighter today. Heading up to Amble later and some soul repair…have a good day
Be excellent. Peace and love ♥️
Forgot to post this last night: I picked up my granddaughters from school yesterday. The youngest (5 on NYE) took her uniform off as soon as she got in….put on her full Captain America costume (including mask/helmet and shield) and just sat there having dinner..not a flicker ❤️
Happy birthday to Baby Nutmeg - 24 today. A man to be proud of: loving, caring, passionate fighter for justice, surfer and climber. Happy birthday Luke…I’m proud to be your father ❤️
Madam Nutmeg, eldest daughter, is currently in hospital on a drip - she’s got cellulitis via a tiny cut between her toes!! No matter how old they are, you still worry…….
It would have been Dad’s 80th birthday today and is the anniversary of when we scattered his ashes. Every day I miss him, he made me everything I am as a man, a father and grandpa. ❤️
Some nights I find it hard to process memories of happier times…tonight is one of those. So I’m gonna bugger off for a bit, wallow in self pity and listen to music. See you tomorrow, my lovelies ♥️
I’ve got 20 minutes left of my wash cycle (whites) and just seen there’s a red tea towel in……FUCK!!
Looks like no pink hues so far. Let’s all cross our fingers…everyone! Yes you as well…DO IT!!!
For those who asked aboot the appointment this morning: things still going in the right direction and they’ve taken me off one medication altogether. Next stop MRI xx
Been talking to my manager and apparently they’ve had a collection at work for me - they’ve bought this (they know what a coffee wanker I am) and got an Amazon voucher for me. Bless them 🥰
Happy 23rd Birthday to Baby Nutmeg, a son who’s grown to be a man to be proud of. Open minded, challenging of misogyny and racism, adventurous and loving……love you, Luke xxxx
It’s me mam’s borthda’…the matriarch of the clan, the strength behind us all, the love that keeps us safe. A fiery protector, joyful and an insatiable lust for life. Happy birthday, Delma…I love you ❤️xx
I’m inappropriately excited that I have an avocado which looks like it’ll be perfectly ripe in time for breakfast tomorrow to spread on a homemade bagel with a poached egg on top…..I’m gonna regret this excitement, aren’t I?
*And also, what a sad lonely fucker I am….
Morning beautiful ones, love and strength to all who need it…the ones who who just “get on”…the ones who are “I’m fine”…the ones who make our lives better and don’t realise….
Be excellent. Peace and love ♥️
Goodnight you absolute stars, I’m not sure I have the words to express my gratitude for the love you’ve shown me today and the support I’ve had from you over the past few months. From a, sometimes, jaded old git….thank you
Sweet dreams ♥️
