All of the following videos are from a BBC Ouch Storytelling Live event, in which disabled people used humour to discuss difficulties they have faced in their lives. I am linking to all of them, 4 different videos here and another two to follow separately as they both deal with issues that affect me greatly and I wish to write about them.

In the charity shop yesterday, this came on the radio and I was transported through time to another place. To the memories of a friend who meant a lot to me, his nickname was Amos. I was forced to leave Matlock in Derbyshire in 1987 because of family circumstances. I didn't want to go and did everything possible to try not to go but at 14 you have ( Read more... )

Going through my texts to my mother early afternoon of May 10th I wrote "Chickens are going mad here, just clucking away at me, fluffing up bottoms, I have no idea what the problem is! They've had food!" Flossie in particular was trying to tell me something, they were going around & around displaying behaviour I'd never seen before. I wonder now if ( Read more... )

The Greyfriars Bus Station, a Brutalist design that stood for 40 years was demolished in 6 seconds & filmed from the sky with drones. I've never been there, never seen it, but I felt sadness to see it blown up. Just because to me buildings hold memories, they've seen so much. It made me wonder the scenes it has witnessed. Lovers overjoyed at ( Read more... )

I have a horrible feeling that the vehicle with who I think is covering tomorrows call & is here for my potential first agency outing in a few weeks is one I can't climb into...

Just have that feeling :-/

Was thinking about the Elder Wands power from my post the other day when I got to hold it in my hand (Elder Wand post found here) What you could do with it.... I would love to use it in various ways & this was before the agency fkd me over ( Read more... )

It's weird I wanted a user pic of hot chocolate & the number of them that showed two mugs together, or hot chocolate with a couple sitting by a roaring fire, or the mugs with two pairs of feet in socked by fire... How strange. Kinda sad too. I wanted it to have as a kind of comfort user pic but most of them featured couples, in romantic happy lovey ( Read more... )

First off, we heard the first cuckoo of the year today :-D

Regarding Mr C, the volunteer driver today & the words of the volunteer driver boss lady the other day, I quote
"He won't need to ring you for directions"
"He knows where he's going as he knows the village"
"He knows the area well"
"He doesn't need to get there before 2.45pm"I am proud to ( Read more... )

Busy day with my mum here so we got the things done that I can no longer do for myself. Lot of TN & t'other nerve pain today, more than usual. Inflammation plays a huge part in it the bastard. Found this again today, I used to like it. Now I'm not entirely sure.

Yesterday was strange, I'm too tired to write about it so will post this instead :-)

My favourite riddle, probably because it applies to my smutty mind lmao yet it's over a thousand years old, being recorded in the early tenth century by monks.

What Am I?I am a strange creature, for I satisfy women ( Read more... )
