Its February 2022 and I watched a Dragon’s den episode where someone was pitching an idea called Biscuit Tin. It was a website which securely contained information about people lives and death wishes and even financial arrangements and other bits and pieces.
It seemed a good idea, so there is a new Category called Biscuit Tin where I’ll put that kind of stuff. It may be as long lived project as My manifesto, but hopefully will be more enduring than that.
I plan to say bits about my life which will maybe make clear some of the decisions I have made, my funeral requests ( with links if appropriate) and maybe why I chose those things.
Here is my starter for 10. I was born in Bradford St Lukes Hospital on 19th June 1955 and about 6:30 am. I was a wanted child and both my parents were very pleased with a boy. I was born with dislocated hips and talipes which is feet turned almost inwards and under. Both due to being large in the womb. I wore wishbone splint well until after my Christening for my hips and had operations on my feet. I am not aware of any lasting effects of either defect, except that my toes are not very mobile and I can’t spread them like many people. Sometimes at night this feels quite claustrophobic.
I don’t remember anything about living in Bradford. We moved when I was 3 after my sister arrived.
That will do for my first entry! More to follow.
