Confession time. When I started this blog, I was angry. Angry about uneven pavements that may or may not have dog-shit on them. Angry about inaccessible buildings and accessible toilets being used as storage cupboards. Because, if you keep a damn fridge in there, it becomes inaccessible. Angry about being called a ‘wheelchair’ on the bus, and always having to say: There’s a person in it, too. I wanted to write about all of that, and my boyfriend and my…
And so, I’ve posted on The Outlier Collective about banned books. Apparently. It’s not my best work. I may have said as much to Madame Weebles. I used other words to convey this message. Of course. It’s basically me going: Banning books is bad, mnkay? Don’t dooo it. (Unless it’s The DaVinci Code.) However. There are a few choice lines. Go see if you can figure out what they are. I’ll wait.

And with that, I promised Sarge I’d shut down the computer. In exchange for a fully-booked honeymoon by the end of the week. Sweet deal. Back on Monday the…
In an update on Coffeegate 2012, say hello to Truman Bubbles: As you can see from the photo, Truman comes with a very safe, very wireless keyboard. (The marshmallow was consumed very soon after this photo was taken. I was worried about sugar-damage. ‘Have you learned nothing?’ I said to Sarge. Regular blogging will resume tomorrow.
