Happy Birthday SC!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.

Happy birthday S!
Made beef wellington earlier, was very nice
Otherwise not much to report here. That's not always a bad thing though.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -

LIR - you guys make so many big decisions all the time, not surprised things end up on the 'another time' pile. I'd guess that we all have them (I definitely do).
Edit: In fact that's probably part of the problem I'm trying to face now. There are so many things on my 'another time' pile, and I'll significantly fewer [STRIKE]reasons [/STRIKE] excuses not to address a great deal of them when my hobby is no longer!
Sometimes it seems as though my whole life gets into that pile for a while.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Thank you all!

Happy birthday silvercar!Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I fell asleep really early.
Fir tried to wake me up and he says I looked at him really grumpily in my sleep which made him laugh.
Its exactly zero degrees here this morning when in did the station run, and no warmer in the station town, unusually. Its normally a degree or two warmer there. But zero all the way in.
Very beautiful though. Like a black and white photo with glitter, black roads, spakling verges, and the hedges, trees, fields all varied shades of grey.
Right now my windows are lit with the sunrise, apricot, warm mango to cool pink and a soft mauve at the top.0 -
