The Rain

I really think that there is something romantic about the rain. You probably all think that sounds really strange..honestly it true. When you grow up in a country when it mostly rains all year rounds, its something you get used to. Don't get me wrong there are days when I do hate it and just want it to be sunny. That mostly comes into mind when its too wet for me to try and get around in my wheelchair..which sucks a lot.

My clothes always get wet and gross from all the yucky rain water. I usually have to come home and change after being out anywhere doing the day. Know you probably, I'm not doing a good job of telling you why I like the rain..haha. On days where I don't have to go anywhere, its nice to just sit with a coffee and watch it pouring with rain outside...doesn't like nice?

Even better yet after a long day of being out in the rain trying to get about in the wheelchair. Its nice to just come home and change into warm clothes, pour a glass of wine and sit and watch a favourite film or tv show. While it pours and you hear the rain crashing of your windows, sometimes its nice to wake up in the morning and hear the rain although it doesn't always put us in a good mood for the day.

So whats your reasons for enjoying the rain?

Safe in the Sun

Hi Everyone!!

The weather here has been great recently and we have all been enjoying it, getting ready for summer. Hopefully the weather in the summer will be a great as what we have been getting over the last week or so. Due to the weather being so good, everyone has been spending time out at the beach or just out in the garden like myself.

So I just want to take the time to remind you to please make sure that you are still protecting your body from the sun. Yes we all like to see the warm weather and get a tan, we still need to remember to keep safe. As there are so many underlined health issues our bodies can develop, if we don't protect them properly from the sun.

You might all be thinking what the purpose in me telling you all about it. When we hear about all the time on the news or read about different skin cancers, burns people have developed from not protecting themselves properly in the sun. Well, I'm one of those people who thought they would be okay sitting in the sun for a long period of time. Only having on a lower factor of sun cream, I got a big burn across my chest. So I am just wanting everyone to be aware of the damage a little sun can do to  your sun.

1. If you are planning to sit out in the sun, please think about applying a higher factor of sun cream, than what you what have in the past.

2.Keep reapplying the sun cream to  areas of your body, you feel are more exposed to the sun.

3. Wear a hat and sun glasses to protect yourself from heat stroke.

4. Don't spend the whole time in the sun and go spend a few hours in the cooler areas.

5. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your body health, as it will sweat out a lot more water in the warmer weather.

6. If you think after a day in the sun you are a little red or maybe burnt, please apply after sun to protect and keep your skin healthy.

Stay safe in the Sun :)

Wheelchair Wednesday

Always when I'm picking an outfit to wear, I want to pick something that I like. I know everyone is the same on that view. Sometimes it isn't just as simple for me in picking something that I like. I have to think about picking clothes that are comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. Clothes that are warm, so I don't get cold sitting in my wheelchair and also clothes that don't get in the way of my using my wheelchair for myself. As I have said before I don't really like asking for help, so I always have to think practical as well for my style.

Now that we are into the month of May, you would think I would start to be wearing more summer type outfits. That isn't the case just yet as the wet in Ireland is still cold and wet most of the time, which is unusual for this time of you. When it comes to clothes I'm still having to dress warm and comfortable, so I thought I would share I few items. That I find easy to wear sitting in my chair for long periods for time and still keep me warm.

1 American Eagle - Hoodie

2. Hollister - T- shirt



















3. Trousers - Canterbury

4. Shoes - Baby

Hope this helps some of you wheelchair users reading this blog :)

Film Friday

So I thought it would be fun to share with you all, a few of the different films I have love over the years. There is most likely something for everyone to enjoy, if I have missed out on a really good one. Feel free to let me know in my comments and also tell me your favourites.

1. The lion king

If you  are a Disney person, almost everyone is. This film is a definitely must watch. I loved it since I was little and the music in it is great. All the family will be able to  enjoy this film no matter what age.

2. The Secret Garden

Anyone who knows me really well, will tell you this is a childhood favourite of mine. This definitely one of those film to sit back and enjoy on a rain day.

3. Step Up

Everyone has a  dance style film in their collection somewhere. Yes it is one of those boy meets girl and falls in love, there is definitely a bigger message behind the love story. If you have already go watch it for yourself.

4. The Bodyguard

I love always loved Whitney Houston voice and this film showcase that in a great way. Also I think Kevin Costner and herself have a great on screen relationship together.

5. Coach Carter

I love basketball as you  have already noticed , if you read my other entries.  So it would  surprise that this is one of me favourite, there is a bigger message to this film than just sport, which is why I totally it.

6. Sound of Music

There is always a musical  film in the collection. If you don't have one you should definitely have one. This is my favourite one and has been since I was little.

7. The Guardian

I'm not one for action films. This is the one that I can actually sit through and it does scare me. Yes, now I actually love watching it.

8. A Walk to Remember

If you are a fan of Nicholas Sparks, you will love the film. You can also  read the book of this film by him. I have never done that, when it comes to this film I love it.

9. One Fine Day

For as long as i can remember I have always loved this film. I can not turn over if I see it on tv. I must sit and watch it all if it is on. So I would totally say this is one to watch if you have never seen it.

10. You've Got Mail

This is anaother film that I just have to watch when it is on tv. Yes Ihave seen it just one to many times. I  really enjoy watching it.



There you have it,  some of my favourite films. So  if you haven't seen some of them, please take the time to  watch them. Don't forget to tell me some of your favourites in the comments.
