A woman has just come out of the station in a floor length leopard print fluffy coat with high heels, blown out hair and red lipstick and I want to be her when I grow up

Also I booked my assistance yesterday like a good little disabled person because we disabled people don't get to be spontaneous in the same way as able bodied people and have to give (at least) two hours notice for our plans or risk getting stranded... But I even did this and he said "I'll see" 😬

And then there is accountability. Did the socials feed break rules? Or was the TV broadcast over policed? I'm none the wiser from a bureaucratic point of view. From a personal point of view, protect the dolls innit!!

I get up when I want, except on Tuesday when I get rudely awakened by YET ANOTHER bloody text message from the doctors about a flu jab I've already arranged! #CazLife

#OrangeCatChronicles he just stood on my head and nearly choked me with his tail. I'm having a bad pain day and he knows and is being all cuddly, but like not that effectively 😂

The most British thing is happening at this bus stop: two older people just discussed the weather (pretty nice) and then both ranted, swearing and all, about people not properly queueing for buses

The bus driver* decided not to take me, of course. The bus itself had no say, apart from the sticker that says the space is for a wheelchair, but I didn't get to where I could point that out. It's so hard having to be an activist every time I leave the house

I didn't even mention the Uber driver who refused to pick us up with my chair because of "stuff in the boot" - the next driver told us it's policy you have to have an empty boot, and this chair folds pretty small, we had got it in a c class Merc on the way to the pub!

For all their ranting about bus etiquette, neither of them backed me up when the bus decided not to take me in my wheelchair because "there's two prams" (both moving to make room), and then "I'm running late, the next one is only 5 mins away"

Her: I said I was here first and they say "does it matter" and yes the fuck it bastarding does Him': Yeah I say you just got here, fucking get to the back Me, internally: It's noon on a sunny Monday...

Okay so I think I have to start #OrangeCatChronicles because so far in the last day or so Harry has stuck his whiskers up my nose, poked me in the eye with his tail and almost turned the TV off. And then he looks like butter wouldn't melt!

He's also not allowed in the kitchen because he can't be trusted not to lick clean the plates or eat through the waxed paper to get to eat the bread #OrangeCatChronicles

The problem with Kelsey Grammer is that he looks and sounds like Frasier Crane, the pompous, snobby, but erudite and ultimately well-meaning fictional radio psychiatrist, and so people tend to forget that he is a piece of shit.

Nick Ferrari interviewing Kelsey fucking Grammer like he’s a historical and political authority whilst he spouts bullshit about globalists and Covid conspiracy bollocks with absolutely no fucking pushback @lbc.co.uk
