Diary of a Struggling Disabled Artist #2
April 13th, 2008
Sit back and relax this Sunday with Ems Coombes and her latest broadcast, featuring the music of the South Hams Boogie Band.
And if you’re ready to face the week with a few new challenge you can consider her requests for her own special jingle, or even some ideas for her Strictly Collaborative integrated disabled-led drama group. Oh, and she’d also like to know about what you guys get up to out there. She don’t ‘arf ask a lot.
As it is, we’re just going get our shell-likes around her dulcet tones. Just click to listen.

I’ve been interested in the Mark Speight debacle and seeing it reported in the paper that he was found hanging in Paddington Station, has left me somewhat bemused, slightly scared and saddened by his departure. Many emotions are coursing through my being, not least why am I taking so much time to come to terms with the death of someone that I didn’t know and that didn’t rate highly on my scale of ‘talented people’ (David Jason is number one, by the way), oh yes, he was a childrens tv presenter on such art programs ’smart’, the young mans ‘heartbeat’.
Anyway, back to the point.
The first point, and what grabbed me first, is how the heck did he manage to hang from the roof of Paddington Station? But if you have seen his big, ariel artwork you would realise he does nothing by halves.
Second, I read this morning that his fiancee took a drug overdose in a scalding hot bath and he found her. The reason for the suicide? It seems to be a tragic love story ala ‘Romeo and Juliet’, he died of a broken heart, he couldn’t live without her. Isn’t that beautiful but scary? How love can be that strong. To make you think, ‘that is it – I can’t take it anymore. I’m gonna end it’.
Do you think he planned it? He took his scaling equipment. That might be a lie. Six days it took for them to find him. He must have been smelling and decomposing. Eugh. (I did wonder if that is how they found him, his arm falling on someone)
And finally but not least, it scares me most because you never can tell, there is nothing you can do and its so final. For everyone involved. Its sad. Is it brave? or cowardly?
