A Taste for Street Art

“Banksy’s love juice tasted like Creosote.”

“Knock Me Out Before You Go, Go”

I nearly knocked myself out when I went to the toilet by lurching forward on the loo and hitting my head on the basin. Fortunately I was wearing a new cap so I was one step ahead of my Tourettes on this occasion.

Fruity Follow Up

Yesterday I explained that I had two pineapples in my kitchen that were going off. They needed to be cut up but I wasn’t able to do it safely on my own. I shared the problem with Harry earlier and she stopped by the lair and sliced them up for me.…

Pineapples or Arms? Choose.

There are two pineapples in the kitchen left over from last week’s party. They’re on the turn and need to be eaten soon.

Fat Sister and I did more yoga this morning with Giedre. During the session I discovered some of the contents from the piñata we’d had at the party on Saturday lurking under the sofa:

“I see Smarties.”

“I see two Smarties.”…

Independence Day

I’ve mentioned the help I get from Access to Work in previous entries. Today was the first day I was joined by my support worker. He’ll be helping me at work a couple of times a week by coming to meetings and events with me and taking notes or typing for me.…
