Christmas (first posted on 19th December2009)

Sorry not put a blog up for a while, I haven’t been keeping well during the last few months. I’m just glad my Christmas shopping was finished weeks ago because it looks BALTIC outside these days, haha!

Watched some Heineken Cup rugby there and gutted for the Warriors by being narrowly beaten on both occasions by Bath! An added bonus is our position currently in the Magners League

Just wanted to say that I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year!!

September Update (first posted on 8th October 2008)

Thought I might say a quick hello to everyone!!

Not been great lately with my health, well it’s pants basically! Had a operation recently and will meet with the consultant pretty soon to establish what’s happening. I watched the Olympics and Paralympics and the amount of medals we won was impressive!

The media have been busy with my uni exploits, with me talking to John Beattie on the radio, hitting the SRU website and soon to be appearing in ‘The Sunday Post’. Had nothing to do with what ‘the’ local paper printed, picture ancient and not my words! Still pursuing the teaching route and have some discussions coming up to go over the right options which sounds exciting.

I just want to say that my best friend and appeal commitee member has just come back from Egypt and is VERY brown, how does that work!

On that cheeri note its less than 90 days till christmas, WOOHOO!!

To everyone starting uni, especially my brother and best friend, yes especially YOU, get STUDYING!!!

University, Florida & The Olympics! (first posted on August 10th 2008)

Hi Everyone.

University life has come to an end after 4 years. I am very pleased with my results and so graduated in July. The day itself was rather surreal because the last time I was in the Barony Hall (where we graduated) was my first day at university. The ceremony involved A LOT of clapping and I could tell it was getting sore by the lack of clapping action from my brother who sat next to me, however I left the hall with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in psychology, woohoo!

I have also just come back from a family trip to Florida. The appeal invested into a points scheme that allows me to stay at a Walt Disney World resort, which is fully wheelchair accessible. It has all the facilities I need; we had a fantastic time although I came home looking like a milk-bottle. LOL!

Getting ready for the Olympics, which start soon although I probably will not be able to see a thing because of the pollution, LOL! Unfortunately my health has not improved since the last blog and so I will need to get an operation to remedy the problem so plenty to keep me occupied!

Good Luck TeamGB

Welcome to The Blog! (first posted on June 20th 2008)

Well here it is – The David Azhar Blog – which I will be using to keep you all up to date with the latest goings on and happenings chez Azhar!

All the exams are finished with the dreaded results for my final year still to come and also find myself one year older to my distaste and increasingly grey haired

Being the sport addict that I am I am all of a sudden overwhelmed by the choices that I have. Some great rugby during the weekend with the Home Nations in the Southern Hemisphere but nothing can top the third podium place of David Coulthard. With the Eurpean Football Championships starting I’m not too sure if I’m that interested in it, although anything is better than Jeremy Kyle (apologise if i have offended anyone but he is poor!!!). I am still enjoying my experience at Barrhead High School and have recently started a new project which iIam excited about. My health is on the increase after a few months with infection which is never any good during exams which are stressful enough at the best of times, but hopefully, touch wood, I am on the mend!

Change in the Blog

Unfortunately we had a bit of a ‘blog moment’ and the original blog has had to be modified.  Hopefully you will see lots more stuff here over the next few months from David and we’d encourage you to subscribe to the blog so you can get all the updates and can also comment and share in David’s life, progress and the work of the appeal.  If you have any further questions then please don’t hesitate to conact us at admin@davidazhar.com.
