    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 Silvercar.

    Much nicer weather here today. 28C and sunny. 45C is a bit much.

    Happy birthday S!

    Made beef wellington earlier, was very nice :)

    Otherwise not much to report here. That's not always a bad thing though.

    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.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    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.

    Michaels is probably on his way, after reading that!

    I was actually in SC ville last night and did see a gritter although the car was saying 6 degrees. Car was very cold to get into if not kept in garage, won't be making that mistake again.
    I think....
