Of course some of the bed time was spent in front of the Paralympics which has more than stopped me (mostly) feeling sorry for myself. After initially finding it difficult to navigate Channel 4's commercial strewn, sometimes stiff, not often live, coverage, the stories and achievements have broken through the fog leaving me in bits, not just when an Paralympic GB athlete wins, but just because some of these athletes are even competing. If, during the Olympics it seemed as though so called "celebrities" had finally been put into sharp relief, now they look even more facile and pointless. They can't not when compared to blind long jumpers or archers finding the centre of a target with just their feet.
