Last night I went to Newport as my half sister lives there and we hadn't seen each other since around Christmas. I met her near Newport castle and then we picked up her girlfriend on the way and parked in an open air car park. My sister and her girlfriend sorted my chair out and we journeyed the short distance to the nearest club.

The club we wanted to go to was at the top of a hill so my sister pushed me up. I had already called to enquire about wheelchair access and was advised there was a side entrance. Yeah, a side entrance with a pretty big step! The doormen carried me in (still in my chair) and we paid the door fee and I asked where the disabled toilet was. The manager showed me.... 2 steps up to it! And then the staff were saying 'yeah it's only 2 steps' as if I could just get up and bloody walk to the toilet. I got a refund for us and we left. We tried every place in Newport and NONE had access or a disabled toilet except Wetherspoons so we went there!

Afterwards I met a friend in her friend's van and had a chat, her friend was incredibly stupid and actually argued with me claiming the stars shine because they reflect the sun's light and that my idea that they are actually balls of burning gas was wild. I can't deal with that level of stupidity. Fair enough not knowing, or thinking that that was the truth, but when you actually hear the truth most people realise they just didn't know not remain absolutely convinced! In the end I had to say 'look, this isn't getting anywhere, we're going to have to agree to disagree' because I was becoming very infuriated with him as he was trying to make out I was the dull one!

Today I decided to go and visit my Grandparents at a caravan they have and sat in the sun for a while catching up until I had to leave for bladder reasons! I came back and saw my window was open (it was shut when I left) so I was a bit scared thinking I'd been broken into and it was frustrating knowing how long it would take to even get in to see what had gone on but thankfully my housemate had come home with his friend and they were cooking dinner, which is why the window was open! Now they are both flat out sleeping on the floor lol!
