Mister Bump

My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)

A Spoonful of Sugar

What word has five letters, but becomes shorter when you add two more?

Short.

Published by Mister Bump UK

I began learning to write following a stroke in 2016, aged just 48. Before, I designed IT systems then took a career break as a cycle mechanic. Since, I volunteered before returning to IT for a time, writing all the while. I'm currently working full-time on my second novel, and use my blog to let my hair down. I'm divorced with a grown / flown daughter. View all posts by Mister Bump UK

I'm a stroke survivor. I type one-handed and although I try to correct them, you will find typos here. You'll learn more as you read.
