The lair suddenly seems massive and echoey. The piles of stuff that have been a feature for the last month have all gone. Fat Sister and King Russell moved out yesterday and our friends Harry and Ollie moved out last week.…
I went shopping earlier to get a dress for Fat Sister’s wedding. While I was browsing I heard someone calling my name. It was my friend Hannah – she greeted me enthusiastically and said, “I heard the ‘biscuits’ and knew it was you.”
This evening while I was watching telly at home I started to tic vigorously, throwing my head back against the wall. Fat Sister and Ollie acted swiftly and simultaneously, grabbing cushions and thrusting them behind my head. Unfortunately their action was so well synchronised that the cushions collided and pushed each other out of the way, giving my head a clear un-padded path to the wall.…
Ollie: “I would never leave a corkscrew out – I’m Tourettes safe.”
King Russell called earlier. I answered the phone by ticcing, “Your mum’s dead.” This was potentially distressing news but I think he knew it wasn’t true.
This morning I took part in another big protest in central London. This time it was the Hardest Hit march, the largest ever protest by disabled people.
Reports on the exact numbers varied. The organisers estimated 9,000 people, the police said 8,000 and the BBC reported ‘over 1,000.’…
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Ollie and Harry are staying at the lair until they’re able to move into their new flat. My tics have inexplicably turned on Ollie and he’s getting similar treatment as Left Wing Idiot’s geranium:
“Ollie go home.”…
I went for a drink with Laura and Emma this evening. Laura is pregnant. I’ve known this for a while but it’s been too early to tell anyone else and I’ve been struggling to keep it a secret and not blurt it out in a tic.…
On Saturday morning Leftwing Idiot reported that my longest tic-free period in the night was fifteen minutes. Sharing a tipi with other people and disturbing their sleep had been my biggest worry about the weekend, but over the last few days I’ve perfected a recipe for sleep.…
After a lazy start to the morning we headed to Bude beach. It was a gorgeous clear day and I wanted to get my feet in the sea. I took my massive boot off and had a short, cold paddle. Afterwards, Leftwing Idiot, Poppy and I left the others relaxing on the sand and went to get chips and ice cream.…
