Whenever friends and I are out we always end up discussing, critiquing, analysing where we are and what we are doing. From talking about the food we are eating, the soap in the toilets, the awful bus journey to our destination, anything and everything we encounter. Because of my disability (SMA type2) many of the situations we get into, issues we discuss and laughs we have can be due to wheelchair access. Often me getting stuck in mud or shingle, or me making my way through the most cram packed shop you can imagine, wondering how I am ever going to find the way out again! I aim to write a blog that describes these dramas, tells stories of our laughs, adventures and frustrations, while giving detailed information on accessibility and wheelchair access. Also I like tea. ALOT. The quality of the tea often determines my return just as much as the accessibility.

  4. Noisy eaters & those that constantly faff with noisy wrappers and crisp packets 😂😂😂
    Love your list, Gemma! I’m tempted to make my own, but it’d be more like 999 problems because I’m an expert at moaning, and none of them are going to be important, reasonable ones like yours with potholes & tables. I actually find the Netflix format to be quite good these days, but then again I tried a free trial of Now TV and that was hellish! Have you ever tried that? I couldn’t make any sense of it! I wouldn’t say rarely finishing a whole slice of good cake is a problem, that sounds like a challenge to me 😉

    1. Oh yes I’m with you on the faffing with noisy wrappers!
      I do have NowTv, it is very confusing too. I find it hard to find new shows on these tv app things, I end up browsing for ages and getting nowhere. It’s much better if a friend just recommends something!
      I’m sure many of your moans are justified, we have our frustrations.

    Pot holes and country lanes both not good! Having to reverse or hide in a hedge on a country lane very bad!
