During this half-term Jules took the kids to The Pizza Station Cafe in Winslow to make their own pizzas!

They had an amazing time and were very proud of themselves too :-)

So I've known for a while that if you type "David Williamson Wheelchair" into Google you just get a couple of pages of my ugly mug.

What's very cool though is that I also get one of those AI overview things. Not sure on the geography though ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Usual Sunday morning getting the kids up and out and down to the lake to see the ducks and goose...

Or "Laaaake. Jucks. Joose" as Keeva says ๐Ÿ˜

Very proud to announce that I have received more than 30,000 Valentines Day Cards.

I would have received a lot more but I ran out of stamps...

Roses are red,
Violets are blue...

Well, no.

Actually I think you'll find that *bluebells* are blue whilst violet is an entirely different spectral colour and has a wavelength between - and this is an approximation - 380 and 450 nanometers.

Happy #ValentinesDay2025

The best thing about WFH is taking the kids and dog down the park in my lunch-hour.

Cue us all arriving back covered in mud; shoes and wheelchair left outside and the kids in clean clothes for lunch.

They now get to have a nap, I get to go back to work.

Seems unfair, somehow ๐Ÿ˜€

Right, then.

Let's see what this "Dry January" malarkey is all about.

Hearing he had passed was awful, and although I'm not one for praying, if there is a God out there then I hope the prayers for Luke continue to reach her ears.

And will perhaps convince her to try harder. Rest in peace young man.

When I first met Luke he was hardly more than a toddler, a toddler who used tape to fix the cardboard inside of toilet rolls to his Teletubbies so "they can have legs like Dave", which to this day remains the most charming interpretation of artificial legs I've ever seen.

This week has been the anniversary of the passing of my friend's young son.

I think with people younger than yourself, if you don't see them so often they remain - at least in your mind - fixed at the age you first meet them.

So @ghastbuff.bsky.social put together a battle rap starter kit for this platform, I found that really useful

Went for a walk round the lake with Jules and the kids... Darragh marched straight up to a duck, nodded and said "nice to meet you!"

The boy is in his own universe but he's *terribly* polite with it ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Opening of my 3rd round against Anky.

Some people might say that a rap battle isn't the best place to talk about the inefficiencies of government departments, particularly the DWP but I reckon with the right approach anything is possible...

I've come up with a brand new concept in comedy, one that will revolutionise the genre.

"Able-Bodied Person" jokes. I'll start, but feel free to contribute.

How many able-bodied people does it take to change a lightbulb? One.

I've asked Santa for a spare artificial leg for Christmas.

Not as my main present though; more of a stocking filler.

How did Ebenzer Scrooge score the winning goal in the Charles Dickens Fictional Characters Charity Shield football game?

The Ghost of Christmas passed.

How did Mary and Joseph know how heavy Jesus was when he was born?

They had a weigh in a manger.

If you're subscribed to the @premierbattles.bsky.social patreon go give myself vs Anky a watch, a like and let us know what you think.

Personally I think it's the best try-out battle this year, but I'm biased. Tell me if I'm right or wrong.
