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 :)

my current iPhone 'lock-screen'

I was just 13 years old when one of my sporting heroes completed monumental success, winning both the Giro D'Italia and Tour de France.  A good year for me, in terms of the professional sport that I followed. Arsenal had completed the 'double'. France won the World Cup. I got to meet many of my heroes of the Juventus squad. Michele Bartoli (my favourite) was a one-day specialist cyclist. He won many, many races, including the Liege-Bastogne-Liege, and taking the overall 'world-cup title'.

Perhaps the most monumental success, was that of Il Pirata (Marco Pantani).




For the above victories, I was 13 years old. Whilst listening to Lauren Laverne on 6Music earlier in the week, it was stated that this is a very iconic, special age for everyone. Listeners were suggested to research the music chart, recorded on their 13th birthday...

Top20 highlights on 13th birthday was checked through this amazing site...

No.1 - Will Smith - Men in Black
 - Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)
 - Meredith Brooks - Bitch
 - Texas - Black Eyed Boy
 - Oasis - D’You Know What I Mean?


 - Number 23 was - Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Eeeek! Over 18 years ago! EIGHTEEEEEN!!! 

I have cut this post short, as i have found that my list of notes was in fact a list of moans which you may not find very interesting at all!

Important note! My favourite coffee blend has been found. Square Mile - Red Brick. 50% Ethiopian, 50% Guatemalan.
Mmmmmmm mmmmm

I hate wasting energy  - Christmas lights ALREADY !!! Still November

My town's Christmas lights got turned on last night. Yes, 24th of November! Over a month before the festival has been held for the last two thousand years! Don't look at me, it was not MY fault. Someone ****ed up, not me!
Word has it that it's because today is 'Black Friday'. Apparently this is a festival held in America (Trumpland). Britain had democratically decided this year, that it wants out of everything. Now this! 'Independent country', whatever!!? How to waste even more energy, and harm our climate even further? Copy the US! Why have festive lights on for just one week, when you can increase capitalist consumerism and harm Earth even further, for a whole month?!?
Keep Christmas special.

Another note that i revive, explains my utter disgust. Whenever I enter the supermarket, I have dirt thrown in my face (or that's what it feels like)! Newspapers are stocked in front of everything else. 'Newspapers', fair enough. 'Right-wing propaganda'  disgusting. Vomit is building in me, every time i glance at the front of 'The Daily Mail'. I sharply turn away glancing at the next, 'The Express', WHATTTT?...
Then, elderly people (the 52%, who voted 'out') just pick themselves a copy, without a second thought. These are the right-wingers who vote. It is their fault I live under a Tory MP, under a Tory PM. We are not governed by MPs, but Newspapers. The problem disgusts me. 
I stop, I am stressing myself out.

Where to go for a good coffee, without falling for a 'fast-food coffee' in one of the chains.
