As someone diagnosed as #dyslexic as an adult, this chimes with my feelings. ‘[d]yslexia [has] caused me to distrust my intelligence which in turn [has] resulted in a lack of faith in my opinion [...] My lack of trust in my judgement [comes] from a fear of making mistakes.’

A line from an old 'Whose Line is it Anyway.' "Things you can say about America but not your partner." "We are f*****." Seems appropriate...

My 5 year old son has just informed me that he doesn't like aeroplanes. He prefers train. I have clearly failed as a father.

#airpowerhistory vs #aviationhistory. Is there a difference? What, where, and why?

Interestingly, even during the Second World War, Luftwaffe officers could keep up with what was published by the enemy. Here, an officer references de Seversky's 'Victory through Air Power' in a 1944 lecture at Gatow. #airpowerhistory #WW2

It's been 8 months since my operation, and I still get lethargic. It's tiring! #braintumour

Ever since my operation, my short-term memory is not great. I spent 15 minutes the other day wandering around the supermarket, trying to remember what my daughter had asked me to get. It was fortune cookies! So frustrating. It was on the tip of my tongue, but I could not remember. #braintumour
