Love being sweared at in Starbucks because I got my order before a man and the nice barista brought it to a table for me. Like did you not see the Guide Dog? Why can’t people just be nice?

Bearing Disability: This Beautiful World | Guest Post - Little Sea Bear
Riley talks about his visual impairment by drawing on a quote said to her to show how she overcomes her disabilities in this beautiful world.

Third appointment at Kings fertility clinic complete! More scans, blood and other tests and we got taught the injections I have to have. Picked up all the medication and now we're on our way home. It's all becoming very real!

Just had two people in Weatherspoons move away from us because they didn't like being near the dog. She's literally lying on the floor doing nothing

Slipped over yesterday at Cineworld and the staff were useless. Got told there was wet floor signs but obviously I couldn’t see them because I’m blind. Members of the public were so helpful so my thanks to them. I just wish people didn’t jump to conclusions to cover their own backs

Getting ready for my first fertility appointment at Kings College in London. To say I’m terrified is the understatement of the year

Decided to go to maccies for breakfast and a coffee after my therapy appointment and he’s given me two flatbreads when I ordered one. I’m taking both and running
