Move on...

 'The Shark' Nibali can attack rivals on a descent. Saturday allowed him to show how.

 A tight chase onto the Via Roma in San Remo, ensued.

The Italian had time to celebrate a home victory.

Wow! One of the best ever!

Screenshot photos (above) depict Vincenzo Nibali’s victorious ‘Classicisima’ of last Saturday. The Milan-San Remo cycle race classic, is traditionally the season-opener. Both the opening of the Paris-Nice stage race, and this opening ‘one-day classic’ involved two of the best finishes. Watching the photo-finish of four-riders (La premier étape de Paris-Nice), equalled the amazement I felt when watching Vincenzo Nibali’s solo attack over the Poggio, victoriously into San Remo. Vincenzo’s pure determination to hold-off the chasing pack of sprinters, was mind-blowing.

Although, there is not a great way of me finding out about audience wishes, ‘comments’ that are left by yourselves, below blog posts, are always read with care, highly valued and greatly appreciated. Thank you to those who have done so. Please, I encourage you to leave as much feedback as you can. It allows me to recognise that you are real people, not just numbers! The more that I learn about my audience, the better!

Alarming !!

World Health Organisation fact (2008)

The above photo is of page 76 of my current read (‘How did we get into this mess?’ By George Monbiot). I highlight this alarming fact which was written in 2008, as I was totally unaware of this problem. I am ashamed by my ignorance, but feel that this devastating fact, should be more widely recognised.

Ohhhhhh!!!  Grrrr! 

I may NEVER be fully happy again! 

Frustrating. Extremely Frustrating.

I am content though. I had found this perfect state of pure happiness, well over ten years ago. One cannot live continually, in heaven. I am not just talking about ‘physical love’, I mean a much broader term...‘mental satisfaction’.

I can exchange smiles with girls, but, I feel that my wheelchair acts as a bubble around me. I am constantly reminded of my disability. On seeing it, everyone fears the worst (much of which may be correct). I still have the mindset of an able-bodied human, but I am trapped. Beneath car, aged 22 +2 months ... 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 ... nothing...

Move on.

Progress. Just like our Earth does. 

We must show care for our planet. We need it.

I can inform you all now, that I am a Green Party candidate for my local Royal Borough of Kingston Council elections, on May 3rd. I will be standing where I am resident in St Marks ward, Surbiton. Vote as you wish but I urge you to open your eyes, recognise problems that EVERYONE faces. Don’t fall into the trap of voting by habit. Problems are ignored by certain parties, but continue to exist, or worsen. They are ‘swept under the carpet’ and forgotten, if you don’t have a Green in the room.

Kingston Green Party are posting key candidates in two wards, amongst the other wards of Kingston.

Joe Holder in ‘Canbury’ ward election, or 

Simon Jakeman if in ‘Chessington North & Hook’ ward.

I heard Sarah Jarosz’s cover of the Dylan tune on the radio. I love this tune.

Simple Twist of Fate

Aerobic training. I enjoy trying my upmost, even if only managing to equal personal records. I give myself proof that I have pushed myself to my current physical limit, I can give no more. If I beat my PB, my limit may not have been reached, truth is unknown. Performance may have been affected by anything.!!

(Or, that’s my excuse!)
