It’s been full on the last couple of days, so here’s what’s
been going down
It all began Wednesday
I took part in a photo shoot yes that’s right I was a model
for a day, I did the shoot with fellow teammate from the
Dorset Destroyers Philip Porter.
The shoot is intended to be a fashion editorial in the style
of something similar to iD Magazine. The editorial is intended to
capture/explore the subjects' individual disability and their participation in
sport, translating this narrative to the clothes creating an authentic
promotion of the clothing, whilst also presenting themselves as a fashionable
sports model to challenge the perception of fashion and disability,
highlighting the need for models of diversity.
It was all the fun club co creator Sue Coombs and Philip’s
mum were on hand to watch the magic and laugh at us, I emailed the photographer
(Joanne her name is, wonderful young lady and super nice) if I could post some
of the photos here on my blog, and she said sure you're more than welcome to
put them on your blog. I've got some great shots which I shall email to you
once I have edited them. I’ll post them on here as soon as I receive them.
In the meantime here is a sneaky peak
Thursday I went to Bere
Regis to support/watch my other teammate Big Dave (David Burns) who was getting
his dreadlocks cut off, which he had them for like 10years to help raise funds
for the club so it can go towards getting new wheelchair rugby chairs for the Dorset
Destroyers.
I have never been to Bere Regis; it was a lovely little
place reminded me a lot of where I grew up to in Wales
Here’s a photo of Big Dave top man for doing what
he did
And Friday
I was back doing Nursing simulation for BU Carer &
Service User Partnership

Same as last month I was doing Level I Therapeutic Communications in Adult Nursing Unit aka role
playing, we had to simulate handover with them anyone who has experienced some
Hospital stay will be familiar with the handover. Both of groups of students
this time were delights it was plane sailing, all 6 of them will make fantastic
nurses one day. I just hope
I helped the students learn something and not talked a bloody load of old
rubbish.
This may
sound a little cheesy but this is the best job I’ve ever had, I mean I get to
sit there and talk about myself and share my experiences.
I left Studland
House Bournemouth University yesterday and I felt so upbeat and positive
it was a good feeling so then I rolled to sprinkles for some ice cream for a
treat, I love ice cream.
It’s been a very few positive and fun days, we are now on
Saturday and I’ve sent the last few hours doing this blog post and relaxing with
my feet up for tomorrow is Sunday and that’s all about wheelchair rugby training
in the morning, go shopping get some snacks in, come home afternoon nap before
the big show for tomorrow is WrestleMania 31 and I for one am excited.
