Slam Dunk for Accessibility at Emirates Arena | Glasgow Rocks Basketball Match
I’ve never been one to follow sports. Apart from a phase I went through during my younger years when I had a crush on Ryan Giggs and thought I was a huge Man United fan. Please don’t judge. But moving on from that I’ve never really been a supporter of any sport. I watched some matches on TV and went to a few matches of my hometown football team during my Ryan Giggs days.

This months ‘Things I’ve Loved’ post has been slightly harder to write as I haven’t done anything exciting other than sleeping, trying to get better and build my strength back up.
