I am steeped in the world of disability (invisible disability). Sometimes I am very lost as I see such little progress in the world of meaningful inclusion for those who exhibit 'difference' and sometimes I feel it is a world in which I found myself, found purpose and interest. Amongst it all my love of animals and high regard for the natural world keeps me grounded and reasonably sane. My blogs are eclectic, a bit like my mind.

Dementation street
Called to see my Dad. An hour spent with people with various degrees of dementia is uplifting. Their reality is a refreshing change from mine. One old guy with severe dementia was attempting to play a keyboard and chattering away randomly. My Dad (also has dementia) said..'You get arseholes everywhere don't you?'. Then when the staff came around with refreshments he asked if he might have two of those (long thin biscuists) 'to stuff in my bloody ears'! Priceless.
