    Sadly not. Out of library & then the campus & then back to the car.

    Sorry you've had some falls.

    Our local council lit up a load of buildings for cerebral palsy day and featured interviews with people with the condition.

    I bought some of those socks from sock shop, they are very nice and soft!

    Hope you're having a good weekend x

  • Beanie, your comment reminded me of the saying about getting bitter or better.  I think we’d all agree that you’re a far cry from letting bitterness impact your life.

    That's good jwil.
    Far removed from the days I had to be called a s p a s t i c at school & visit their consulting rooms on a regular basis  
    Hey ho.  Bitter. Moi? 
    It's awful how people were treated in the past, and hopefully we are moving towards a much more understanding and inclusive world.
    Sadly, I sometimes wonder.
