The state of Pete
I've been unwell, and will continue to be unwell for a while. This is an account of where that unwellness is at.
72.peteashton.com
Wrote about my illness. 72.peteashton.com/the-state-of...
This took me a couple of weeks to write and partly in lieu of me being able to stay in touch with a number of friends and family. Chronic fatigue is a fucking arse, but I'm slowly learning how to manage it.

Their name: The Control Group.
