Have installed wordpress on my iPhone.
The theory is that I’ll be able to post some razor-sharp posts as ideas come to mind, and not try to remember for later but forget.
Let’s see whether that happens or not…

‘It was him or me’: Dad donates organs to 11yo son
A father has saved the life of his son and made medical history in the process by becoming the first living New Zealander to donate two organs.
Wayne Pycroft donated a kidney and part of his liver to his sick son Jesse, who at 11 years old has become the youngest New Zealander to receive a double transplant.Jesse Pycroft has had to battle for most of his life after being born with a rare genetic enzyme defect, which slowly destroyed his liver and kidneys.
His mum Faith Pycroft says it has been heart-breaking watching her son suffer.
“Some days you felt like you weren’t going to get through it,” she said.Last year, as their son’s health deteriorated further, Wayne and Faith Pycroft decided one of them had to donate two of their organs.
Wayne Pycroft was the perfect match.
“It was either going to be me or our son because he was getting so sick, and we had to act,” he said.
“From the start I just put up my hand.”
