Last week I turned 30 and held a wheelchair joust. (Note: not historically accurate.)

With thanks to Caoimhe, my opponent, to Reverse Garbage for providing materials, and to Sam and Tess, for documenting the most fun I’ve had in my life.

Two wheelchair users duking it out, armed with cardboard lances and shields painted with gryphon and wyvern crests,
