Tuesday was the first really big step on the path to giving up one of my (lovely) kidneys to a stranger. At least it felt like it to me. My last visit to Guy’s Hospital was for some quick blood tests and a long talk with a consultant. A step […]
A new edit of something written nearly 10 years ago. The sign might be meaningless. She’d spent two days wandering this time. Aimless but energetic steps leading her miles away from the great machine before fear, or guilt or something had forced her to turn back. Now, as she made […]
Just back from my first proper, in person bit of kidney donation business. Was up at Guy’s Hospital this morning pissing in cups, giving blood and being told I’m average height (fair enough), not fat (good to know) and my BMI is decent. Also sitting down and talking to the […]
In two minds over whether to write about this really, it’s of interest to me but like most things people do in life – it’s probably of zero interest to anyone else. Still, as an exercise in self reflection it is interesting to me at least so why not? Anyway, […]

Well it’s taken a while to get here and there’s a long way left to go but as of now Laika57 Clothing officially exists! This is the big change I’ve been building up to over the last month or so, the one that introduces a load of new designs, changes […]
… it’s a new day, it’s a new site for meeeeee. And I feel alright, I suppose. A week or two ago I announced that DylanOrchard.com as was would be winding down. The clothes and design side of things was going to shift to a new label (it will) and […]
