Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

...and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Note a):
'Must think: 'Life is better than it was'. I had hoped for perfection (one always does), but perfection doesn't exist here on earth, only in heaven.

But, when I am low, I do struggle to find a valid purpose, which is depressing. 
But hey, it could be worse. I am forever on a journey, and things improve along all the way.

Very trivial now. I have a relatively large pile of odd socks, by my drawers. Hmmm. Some may view it depressingly (how are they odd? Where is the partner?) However, I attain a worryingly large amount of joy, in matching the socks up! Completing the sock's destiny. They are designed to live in pairs.

One of my new year's resolutions, is to 'pay less random compliments to girls'. Whilst I will continue to compliment people who I feel truly deserve a comment, i will do it less. I do not want to live up to some horrible stereotype of a wheelchair bound nutter.

I type this post successfully (i think), on my new computer that I bought before Christmas. Now, it is only the third device from which i have posted. Previously, my laptop was used here in my flat. The only other device was used back on June 6th, from Paris, my mobile phone. 

June 5th - S'il vous plait...

Back earlier in the year, I made a series of very hopeful sporting predictions.

/2012/05/sporting-tipsbets.html

But, enough time travelling, it's all about now! Sir Bradley was the only successful prediction, and what deserving crown to match yellow jersey and Olympic Gold medal! Well done Bradley, your success brings me such joy. Thank you.

The next note on my phone, exclaims my dismay at the large quantity of 'Bathroom consumerables' that seem to not include sustainably designed packaging. OK, our other large use of consumerablr products is food and kitchenware. Although things can always be improved, we seem to now live in a world in which we are much more aware of these issues, but only in the kitchen!!
OK, I have previously mentioned my idea for antiperspirant, but the same mentality can be applied to so many bathroom consumables. 
Am i being stupid? Does anyone know of these products already existing on a mass-scale?

OK, I visited the 'Stanley Picker gallery', the other week. I just want to give it 'a shout out'. I used to work next door in Kingston University (Faculty of Art Design & Architecture). Free entrance to the Art gallery just behind Knights Park campus. I seriously recommend.

Now, I also provide a link to those of you who cannot view any of my YouTube videos. This is probably because you are lacking 'flash player'. Get it here:

It is free and easy (I think). There is no excuse!!
