OH has got a Chambers meeting today, to his disgust - he reckons it'll be most of the day, too. So Isaac and I are enjoying a lazy day together; so far we've made some roasted carrot and cumin soup, and Isaac's now fighting Romans on his computer....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

To be honest....I have no idea!
It's more, look at the dates and see what fits. During the working week is awkward because of school pick up etc, weekends are awkward because of having the boys off school and school holidays are awkward because the boys would want to come with me to London...but youngest wouldn't want to meet anyone and might react eeky about it.
We are planning a visit to London at the beginning of January to go to the museums however....
One day....one day....We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Sue, would having younger children around, such as Isaac, help? Is youngest more relaxed with unknown 8 year olds than unknown adults?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

Roasted carrot soup is a great meal - very cheap, very healthy, win-win. And we all like it, too....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I'd have to remember to buy carrots, then peel and roast them.... and buy cumin.... then mush them down somehow .... it'd take more than an hour. And I might not like it
And there's probably other stuff I'd have to buy ... and then that'd need using up before they went off.
Weetabix = instant.
You don't need to peel them, just chop them into sticks after washing them. Chop and add an onion, a couple of red peppers, and sprinkle with cumin and black pepper and a bit of olive oil, and roast. Cumin keeps for ever, and is jolly useful in cooking, so won't go to waste.
Once roasted add some stock (you could use stock cubes, which also keep for ages) and bob's your uncle....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

It's all unknown people, including children....youngest does not like people.
That said, I generally do try to get him to mix with others (unfortunately, not very successfully at present), just I don't think it would be the best idea when meeting up with the NP for the first time on top of being in a new place...everyone would be running for the hills vowing never to see me ever again! :rotfl:We made it!

We had an early start this AM as DS decided to be very excited about his birthday even though it is not until February...:mad: i demonstrated I was more tired than DW falling asleep again with TV on and DKs running in and out shouting.
Then there was DDs football, paying in a cheque, visiting agents with documents, getting softener salt and then lunch - toasted bagels and pitta, rice, sweetcorn and radish salad, coleslaw, some cold chicken, ham slices, cheese slices and triangles, mustard, pickle. This afternoon, as well as a bunch of online chores, will feature a trip to Sainsburys.
Sue is there no option for your boys to visit friends after school and you pick them up later if we had an early meet up?I think....0 -
You have my sympathy - I'm so not a morning person. What time did he decide to get up and celebrate his next birthday? How old will he be in Feb?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

About 6.30, 5 on next birthday. I bet I am more not a morning person than you.
We are having a homework afternoon - I can not understand how teachers can have the patience....I think....0
