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 :)

Whatever next?

___Anti-diplomat___
___Retain control___
___Next, is a gift___

Britain, we should be ashamed of our ‘Anti-Diplomat’. 
The man is a dangerous fool.


This abhorrent, loathsome creature now represents us, to the rest of the world!
  • A former Health Secretary, failed miserably, so he has become Foreign Secretary instead!
  • Such power, in the wrong hands, could rapidly ruin many. 
  • Regressive stances will not only wound us, but also foreign countries with whom we deal, across the entire world. 
  • Such stupid and offensive mistakes made by him, now not only affect us, but the whole of present humanity. 
  • Meanwhile Theresa May cannot handle global pressures that Brexit has piled on us, she dances onto stage at political conferences, laughing and joking, suggesting she is just part of a comedy of errors! How can we let this happen? This is OUR GOVERNMENT!
  • They are broken failures. Is Britain just supposed to laugh at this comedy? Are we just a slow, drawn-out tragedy, waiting to happen?
  • Change is needed, so badly.



Notifications ... Retain control 
  • Lets face it. Notifications on our mobile devices, may help, but predominantly they distract us and cause stress!
  • I don’t think we should cut them out completely, but seriously limit them. At the most, we should allow only 5 Apps to spray us with ’Notifications’. 
  • We can still use as many different Apps, as we want, WHEN we want. By limiting these notifications, you know that you are receiving valuable information, when your phone buzzes at you. By encouraging use of the desired App, your brain will process more of the information provided.  
  • Notifications dilute the power of the information that they spray at us.
  • WE MUST RETAIN CONTROL.

Edith Cavell statue



  • ‘Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone.’

I love the above quote. The statue commemorating Edith Cavell  is on St Martins Lane/Trafalgar Square. Cavell was a nurse who helped soldiers from both sides in World War I. She was court-martialled and found guilty of treason. Edith Cavell was executed in October 1915. These were among her final words.



Congratulations Alejandro!


  • The professional World Championships, of UCI Road Cycling, was completed, last weekend, won by Alejandro Valverde. The toughest course for over 15 years (on a mountainous, Austrian circuit), proved a thoroughly deserved winner. 38 year-old, Valverde has been a close, runner-up on a number of occasions.
”Whatever comes next is a gift."

Such a gracious comment (above), offered by Valverde. The link below is to my recent post, declaring my joy at his continued success! 



The Reprieve (written post-war, 1946)
page 42. 


- Set in 1939, Daniel’s character explains to Marcelle why he does’t predict an outbreak of the forthcoming world war. 
He implies that humans will only ever be able to alter small, relatively negligible things. 
- He continues to include some grand statements. His final implications state that there is a ‘quivering immobility of the countryside’, which, along with ’the purpose of man’s toil’, will exist forever. 
- Forever, or for as long as the ‘everlasting return of the sun’.
- Sartre explains throughout with different characters, that certain events or objects, exist inevitably, but human experiences of these will always vary.
