Welcome to my blog. I post on this, roughly once a week (it does vary). 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 :)

Helvetica wins by more than 8 seconds!!


The title of this week's post explains the font that has won the thrilling race to be used by me at work! Although heavily backed by myself, it has been chosen unanimously (almost), by everyone involved. I had chosen to use 'my font' for the previous two newsletters. A personal favourite, Century Gothic was used by myself, without question. It is similar, but different to Helvetica (slightly rounder, thinner). I love these Sans-Serif fonts. I slow down as I realise that I may be boring you all to tears! My excuse is that I have long had a passion for typography. Hmmm. Examples can be found within this blog...
  • my name - helvetica
  • blog name - century gothic
  • introduction - serif font
  • posts - helvetica 

I enjoy finding new music. They are discoveries of mine, but not really, I do not claim anything. I just feel they deserve exposure!

My music ‘discovery’ this week is
