3/ However if people are willing to cough up for such an occasion, I might as well go the whole hog and ask for £5 for each anniversary of everything I’ve ever been diagnosed with.
I could be looking at financial freedom in just a few short years! 😄😬

2/ Diabetes UK are canvassing people trying to find out if they’d buy cards and gifts from them to give people on their diaversary.
I confess I am slightly uneasy about the Hallmark-ification of medical diagnosis dates. …

1/ I honestly don’t want to sound mean-spirited by this post.
But I was today years old when I discovered the word “diaversary” which is apparently the anniversary of the day one is first diagnosed with diabetes.

My latest wheelchair shenannigans at a restaurant (screenshot below). They’d also put an ornamental display featuring a wheelbarrow of flowers on the wheelchair ramp, which they also had to move so I could get in.

I’m intending to repost all my old #Hookland Tweets here with the intention of picking up where I left off thereafter before crap health forced a hiatus.
These will be in the form of pictures/screengrabs I made of them a while ago.
Re-enchantment is remotivation 🙂

Back from expedition to clinic, suitably bandaged. Couldn’t get wheelchair over one insufficiently-dropped kerb but otherwise pleased to report that on this occasion I didn’t crash into anything else or otherwise become stuck!

Christmas with Jethro Tull Experience folk-rock legend Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull in the awe-inspiring setting of Beverley Minster this Christmas.

I’m off to see Jethro Tull at Beverley Minster on my birthday this year. Chuffed 👍 🪈
