Wide Awake Club.
I've been lying here in the dark for aaages, probably close to an hour. Finally gave up and popped out for a cig and put the kettle on. 4am the clock in the kitchen said, so I figured I might as well get up .... came here and as the browser was loading, I saw the PC clock.

Oh well.... I'm up now.0 -

I was still trying to get to sleep at that time!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.

My favourite cut flowers too. Partly because I love the scent, and partly because they remind me of my mum - they were her favourite too.The :eek: bit is that PN lives in an end of terrace.

When we were living in our previous house, developers bought and demolished the detached house opposite and replaced it with a pair of semis. It didn't cause us any trouble. But then they did access the site from the other side, so their vehicles weren't coming along our road.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

That's handy to know they're in flower now. I use them to teach genetics; I pass them round the class and see how many can smell them.
