I open this week’s post with a cover version of a cover song! Morgan James covers the whole Jeff Buckley album ‘Grace’. Track six, is Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah (originally written by Leonard Cohen). As Buckley’s version is correctly held in such high regard, the cover she sings here is also beautiful, clean and pure. James does not attempt to personalise the song.
Social skill
I know that I cannot be the most outgoing, social butterfly, with my disability, requiring a wheelchair. However, I am content, as i have always been able to rely on my social mental ability. Some people (fully-able) stick out supremely, due to their basic, social inabilities. Egocentric rudeness is witnessed regularly in a high-street caffe, in Surbiton. Unfortunately such oblivious behaviour is probably copied at many similar sites. I seriously urge EVERYONE to ‘wake-up and start respecting people’.
This note is caused by witnessing the number of comuters who get off the train at Surbiton Station, rush to get drugged up (extra large, double mocchacino with cream, and ‘hundreds ’n’ thousands), and expect priority of everything, because they may work ‘in the City’. Queue up, and be aware. Don’t immerse yourself in your mobile phone. Be polite to staff, ALWAYS.
I get horrified by people who approach the ’secondary counter’ and take anything and everything that is free. GROW UP! Nothing is free in reality. Somewhere or somehow there is a cost to everything. The more your greed grabs, the weaker you become.
Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery is a journey without a destination. I am on the lifeline railway but not aboard ‘the human train’. I am on a road to nowhere. It is difficult.

and hungry for your love
But no way to feed it
The cover at the start of this post, has me ‘in the zone’. So, an acoustic performance by the master himself, of my favourite song on ‘Grace’.
Burning in the corner,
Is the only one,
Who dreams he had you with him
Hehehe. Be careful, there are benefits of using ‘Siri’, (or any voice recognition tool), on a mobile phone, but there is a flaw.
‘What?’
‘Sorry, I am speaking to my Siri!’
I use Siri on my iPhone, more and more. More and more people find me talking to my phone, but now it is literally! Gulp!
I went to Wembley, to watch England v Italy, on Tuesday. I had been to ‘the old Wembley’ many, many times, but this was my first since it has been rebuilt. Absolutely incredible.
I admit that I am only so aware of ‘universal/accessible design’, since requiring it. I was always aware that it was needed , but it has only been since 2006, have I been struck when it is not provided wherever needed. Wembley gets full-marks!
England V Italy. I am a fan of both. Best result? No-one loses.

How his this not a penalty?
Ok, it WAS dubious, but it was a hero (Federico Chiesa, a Fiorentina star), so I HAVE TO be biased to convince myself! 🤪
5 is max
I will never admit to being addicted to coffee. I am a strong lover of a good cup of coffee, and i know that my maximum limit has increased from three per day to five per day in only a few years. I may want a sixth but i can stop, therefore is this really ‘addiction’?

I feel like dying without coffee in my life
