2025 RECAP
This year was tough.
I am so lucky.
Lucky to have amazing family and friends.
Lucky that in 2009 I went to watch a bout of roller derby and it got under my skin.
Lucky that they found my brain tumour before I had a stroke.
This is far from an exclusive recap, but here are some photos of the year.

✨SPECIAL MENTIONS ✨
18: in 2012, someone will tell you to engage in banter about roller derby with a guy in Scotland over Tumblr, it is so important that you listen to them!
@iamdenominator is my best mate, my rock and I could not be more proud that he made
@wizardsofaus 💛💚
19: on November 22 this coming year, I will have spent more of my life with
@simoncopland than I did before I started going out with him. Best choice I ever made. Best boyfriend ever, and this year was proof (not that I needed it). 🏳️🌈
20: Extra banana? 🍌
