Two pictures. On the right, me ten years ago, leaping in the air with my arms outstretched. On the left, me now, lying in bed.

It’s Ten Years since the Beginning of the Decade!

Barbed wire is stretched across a blurry scene of green grass and trees. Below the wire is written sometimes I can sever the cruelty-pain link someone has forged between us.

Boundaries Again: The Doing!

A grey stone rests on fabric with a floral pattern. There is purple writing on the stone which reads, to live is to be vulnerable.

I Hate Having Carers: A Rant

A woodland scene with deciduous trees growing close together. On the largest tree trunk is a white notice with keep out written on it in marker pen.

What are These Boundary Things and How do I get One?

A small, battered, blue notebook with a rabbit cut into the cover. Illegible words have been written on it in black permanent marker. Inset in the bottom right corner is childish pencilled writing, reading "this story" and, on a separate line, "hope you like it". At the top of the whole picture is written "My first book!" in an old fashioned typeface.
