Happy Birthday, Dad


Today is my dad's 76th birthday. It's hard to believe but he has been a paraplegic since 1980, so long time in a wheelchair.

He's been through a lot over the years. If being disabled was not enough, he is in constant pain due to nerve damage to his spinal column, he's on gadzillion tablets, has diabetes, one kidney and prostrate cancer. But despite all this he is always cracking jokes and has a smile on his face.

Penblwydd Hapus Dad!

Wales win at Twickers!



Well, it has to be recorded.


England 19 - Wales 26
A magnificent second half performance by Warren Gatland's boys stunned the Twickenham crowd. They completely turned the game from 19 - 6 down to win. Click here to read all about it.

Courses

Well, it's study time again with the next instalment of my Psychology degree course. Miraclously I passed my exam last October, so glad I don't have a resit to think about. This year I have chosen to do a half course (a recent addition to the degree programme and mandatory), Exploring the Brain.
I have also started my Basic Counselling Skills course at Llandrillo, every Wednesday evening. Hopefully the combination of both will steer me towards a career in counselling.
