I think I have overdone it a tad. Too much excitement what with disco balls once a week (oh the fun I have doing that!) BBQ’s and a weekend away with friends. If you are reading this blog because you have a similar illness to me please listen to the following advice; do not go to Centre Parcs unless you have a lot of support! Stone paths, moving trees (how very dare they?) and lots and lots of walking involved. I did have a great time catching up with my friends though!

I was very lucky to have some great friends to look out for me. I had to be pushed around in a wheelchair by people, mainly Dave (AKA Jeeves). I felt pretty pathetic and It was quite hard putting a brave face on when strangers keep giving you pitying looks. Fortunately I couldn’t feel sorry for myself for too long once the wheelchair games began.

It was so funny watching the queue of traffic behind Karl as he tried to race back up the road. Everyone is so PC at the moment I don’t think anyone in the car’s dare say anything!

The games continued into the evening with the ‘ can you touch your left ear with your left hand going around your head’ game. You would never believe we were a bunch of highly qualified professionals. It was fun!

I have been on one date which was interesting. To be honest I would never had recognised him from his profile picture (good job he recognised me!) but he was really funny and we had a good laugh. I don’t think I can see it going anywhere but I’ll keep you posted. I’ve been watching the channel 4 programmes on Internet dating and I have realised that my profile is somewhat flawed as I have been totally honest, I’ve not exactly sold myself and used rubbish pictures – oh well. It’s all ok though because I now have a ‘selection matrix’ devised by my Mum’s boyfriend (I cracked up when I saw this!):

My local pub reopened which is a relief! Surprisingly there was a bit of a punch up (oh the drama). It was between a good friend of mine and a guy I was sort of blackmailed into going on a date with ten years ago (long story) and have not seen since (so that was not too awkward!). I hid behind my mate who is literally ‘the only gay in the village’ – not sure he was the best choice!

I need to rest up for the next disco ball session. This better actually do something as I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in bed at the moment 🙁
