Quotations

Office Work
Yesterday I spent the day in the office at is so hard on a dyslexic brain.
Kent libraries dyslexia awareness workshop
Today I ran 3 workshops throughout the day for Kent Libraries it was great to see open-minded people wanting to help dyslexic people who coming to their libraries. I forget how tiring it is to just talk all day.
A feeling of self-worth
When you are a dyslexic person when you do a good job in your business or at work it importantly raises your self-worth which can be on the floor when you are dyslexic. Finishing the window film job on a 1960s route master bus with all the problems got around the feeling of pride was very important to me.
Working with Kent Libraries
Looking forward to working with Kent libraries tomorrow on how their staff can help more dyslexic people in their libraries.

A great start to a Friday
A great start to a Friday invoicing what could be better. It wouldn’t be possible without the freedom of the reading and writing software on my computer. It makes me feel complete somehow, means you can take responsibility for your own reading and writing needs.
Self Serve Checkouts
The last couple of days I have been to B&Q and Tesco’s and used their self serve checkouts for the first time I was extremely impressed with B&Q. Tesco’s needs a bit more work on their software to become more dyslexia friendly. One of my goals in life Is getting the supermarkets more dyslexia friendly. Kent libraries are a shining example with dealing with dyslexics ironically there are millions of books with a little help from me with the workshops they hold for their staff once a year.
Watched Avatar last night
Watched Avatar last night, a fantastic film but doesn’t it get spoilt for a dyslexic person when the subtitles come up. You would think with all this technology we have they could sort something out so it could be read to you may be through your telephone.
