    If anything, this last week he has been less active than he would normally be. Normally, he would be up and down the stairs at school, doing rehearsals which involve lifting heavy equipment and moving it about etc but the last week, he has spent watching You Tube videos and doing one rehearsal which involved no moving of equipment and no real drumming either!

    So less activity, more food and more weight loss...go figure!

    Edit - And because he was with his father on Saturday, he didn't even do the weekly push me about in my wheelchair up town either.
    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.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Not so glorious here, it was first thing this morning but now it is cloudy and the temp has def dropped.

    My weight loss was a more modest 1.25lbs this week but I am still over the moon with that.

    Ah, but is that the view from your bedroom window?!

    WE had someone come to the door selling aerial photos of our house, DD1 handled the negotiation getting the price down from the initially quoted £35 to £10, don't think I would have done better.
    I think....

    Nope! It's the little park just around the corner. Leads onto open fields. We're going to walk the canal in a bit. My favourite walk.

    Yesterday was t shirt weather too.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    James went back yesterday as he is off to Salou with his pole society today....was such a relief to get my front room back to how it is supposed to look!

    He will be back here again this time next week for another week or so before finally returning to uni.

    Annoyingly for him, as soon as he leaves the town, the sun comes out which would have meant more money from his job down here.

    Spent all day in the garden yesterday. Had my t shirt tucked into my joggers and was heaving some roots out of the ground (the height of ladylike), when Mr nice neighbour popped his head over the fence to offer me... a bucket of chicken manure! I'd already bought myself flowers on Saturday, so it was the ideal gift :)

    The green bin is almost full so I might dust off the garden table and sit outside for a bit to enjoy the sunshine.

    G&T in the sun???

    It's cloudy here, but I'll be returning south shortly :)

    I have to travel via Kings Cross X because of all the engineering works. Bit of a pain. Adds to my journey time as I can't get a direct train, and means I have a longer journey once I get to London. Worringly it wouldn't let me reserve seats. Could be a bad journey back :(

    A couple of cans of ready mixed G&T for the journey? :)
