It feels like it has been aa hell of a long day: I’ve been here, there and everywhere, mostly to the shops. I had to get the weekly groceries, butt when I came back I found the light bulb in my office had blown, so I had to go all the way back down the hill to the shopping area. Oh yes, my parents will be pleased to note that I also had a haircut. A productive day indeed, although I must say I feel quite knackered. That in itself is rather odd, given that I was in my electric wheelchair all day and didn’t actually walk far.

Anyway, short of much else to write about, I thought I might flag this article by Mik Scarlet up. It is about hew disabled people benefited from last year: for once we crips were seen as stylish, confident and independent people. Scarlet writes ”For far too long, most non-disabled people have held the stereotype of disability as being synonymous with badly-dressed people with bad personal hygiene and few interpersonal skills. But this year, the media has been filled with disabled people who embraced fashion and who have successfully created an individual style that challenged those offensive stereotypes for good.” Great stuff, although I’m not sure how stylish one can look wheeling up charlton church lane with six Asda bags hanging off the back of one’s chair.
