From the living room window of our flat in Edinburgh we can see Arthur’s Seat, the majestic hill that sits right in the heart of the City.

Today was our day off, with no performance of #BIBL, and because it was sunny and warm we decided to go for a walk up what my tics have been calling “Arthur’s Stool.”…

I came round a corner in my wheelchair yesterday to find a man putting up a large show poster (a very familiar sight in Edinburgh). In fact he’d just finished.

My tics shouted “It’s not straight!”

He looked mortified, stood back to look, and then laughed when I explained that I had Tourettes, and that he’d actually done a perfectly good job.…

I’ve learnt very fast that flyers are a key part of the Edinburgh Fringe experience. These bits of card, each with details of a show, are everywhere, and handing them out to passing strangers is a never-ending job.

I’ve noticed that I tend to get given far fewer flyers than my non-wheelchair-using friends.…

This afternoon we put on the first performance of Backstage In Biscuit Land (#BIBL) for an Edinburgh audience. After so much planning and preparation, it felt brilliant to be under way at last.

This piece, with its origin in some of the difficult experiences I’ve had seeing shows because of my tics, has been a long time in the making.…

Tomorrow will be the première of Backstage in Biscuit Land at the Edinburgh Fringe and I’m very excited!

I’ve already been to see a couple of shows and have been stunned by quite how much there is to see up here.…

In case you haven’t heard or noticed there’s been a bit of a heat wave in the UK over the last couple of weeks. I’ve been mostly enjoying the sunny weather but there’s been one slight drawback – the upsurge in people wearing shorts.…

Well, not right here, but on a t-shirt to be exhibited at the Unlimited Festival which is a disability arts showcase being held at the Southbank in London in September

The competition’s open to young disabled people – you have to be under 26 to enter.…

In three days we leave for Scotland and by this time next week I’ll have my first performance of Backstage In Biscuit Land at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival under my belt. There’s still loads to do and in the last couple of days lots of loose ends have been keeping me busy – two kinds of loose ends, In fact.…

Fat Sister’s having a party tomorrow, and I’m not invited!

Surely this must be the ultimate snub! It became apparent last night that we were on the brink of a big social event, and I didn’t get a look in.

Loads of my friends have been asked to go, including Poppy, Leftwing Idiot, and my support worker, Sophie.…
