New trainers

Well I treated myself to some new trainers this weekend so needed to try them out tonight in the gym!

Did you know that February is Down's syndrome awareness month??

I have been brought up with Down's syndrome and unfortunately today has been an eventful day! Some of you may have seen the programme on bbc3 this evening - growing up with downs.

This was a fantastic programme and did young people with downs justice as it was a programme all about their lives.

My uncles has downs and tomorrow is turning 50!! Unfortunately he has also got dementia and is going down hill fast - tonight's tv programme made me realise how much he has deteriorated over the last 12 months and unfortunately he has had a really bad day which means I will be spending the night with him trying to help him cope with everything that's going on inside his head. I really wish he was back to his normal self if only to enjoy his birthday tomorrow.

Life can be so creel sometimes!!
