Watch my incredible daughter Kirsty get her hair back following her treatment for breast cancer. Diagnosed 10 yrs ago today. Then she kicked its arse good and proper. So proud of her. That smile. 🥰

10 years ago today, my beautiful daughter Kirsty was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought and won. The strongest woman I know. Along the way she made this great advert for Vitality. Please watch. And please check your breasts.

In Hebden Bridge to get some vinyl ads on my new van. Lunch in Oldgate and Linda Abram reminded me I had a book in my Batec bag. So gave it to a little girl with disabilities. Always feels nice to be able to do that 🥰

Hi Wob | The feel-good place to buy books I cannot message you as you only have a bot. You are selling one of my books on Amazon without my permission. This is preventing me from selling my own books on Amazon. Please contact me to resolve this. Thanks

This is great. But imagine how brilliant it would be if we had more staff with disabilities in our schools. It’s the best way to normalise differences. To my knowledge (and I hope I’m wrong) we have only one headteacher who is a wheelchair user in England. That’s not good enough

Popped into the resurrected Old Library on Skircoat Green Road for a nice coffee and a slice of cake. Run by volunteers now and pleased to have donated a set of books. Do support it if you’re local!

I posted this 11 yrs ago today. “Piece Hall Halifax. A beautiful open space surrounded by fantastic architecture. A sunny Friday during the Easter holidays and the local council have put on..... nothing. Just a desolate burger van. What a waste”.

Being accustomed to pain is a strange thing. Yesterday it was off the scale. I was screaming in agony and in bed by 6pm wondering why I carry on. Today I’d say it was level 9/10 and it feels great. Ridiculous. I’d wager most people would be crying right now.

Caption competition! On this day 2015... the very first time I fell out of my wheelchair backwards and had to get the fire brigade to get me up again!
Mrs A loved having them pop round and left me for a while to make them tea and biscuits! But what are they saying here? 🤔🙄
