For those that questioned why I didn’t attend the game last Saturday, this was why. My daughter asked me to go to the Pride parade with her, have a few drinks, a meal, and generally have a catch up on her life and her website project. She doesn’t live with me so I don’t see her that often so face to face time is very valuable

I’ve highlighted one particular part of her social media post from today. That is a nod to WWays. She was stunned by the response from here. I thank all of you that contributed feedback once again for your support.......

 

 

As some of you may remember, a year ago I set up a website that allows people to submit and share their personal stories regarding mental health, encouraging people to use their voice and realise that they're not going through this alone.

The response I received was absolutely insane. That insane in fact, that I shut it down after a few months as I couldn't cope with managing the website alongside my own mental health.

But now I'm back 💥 I'm in a better place with my mental health, I'm currently in the process of purchasing my first home, and next week I start my dream job as a Teaching Assistant in a special educational needs school.

So I've decided to relaunch my project. A website where you can anonymously submit your mental health story, in the form of poetry, short stories, song lyrics, or simply anything that expresses you.

@athywhite1958 - sorry to hear things have got worse for you pal. Good on you for opening up but can't imagine how tough it must be.

I know I'll be speaking for others on here when I say you'd never be fucking burden to anyone on an away day.

Pitch side view and skipping all the cues. I'll happily come along with you another time.

Always harder for folk who are fiercely independent to let got an take the support. Can understand why you'd be reluctant. But it's there in heaps if you need it.

Reading this has finally convinced me to listen to her indoors and finally retire at 70, that and visiting yet another pal with terminal cancer lying in bed in a grey room in a hospital.

Someone offered to buy Dimron Towers last week and we've had an offer accepted for a modest house near Whitby, so I intend to get a new(ish) dog and enjoy my remaining mobility before Mother Nature takes it off me.

Still a bit scary though

What you gonna do about your flying?

Do you have to knock that on the head?
