Did I ever mention the bits of blue pottery I keep finding when I'm digging down the field. Here is another piece. I've decided to start saving them and see what I can make of them. As far as I know the field was only ever used for grazing so I'm puzzled. Anyone know how I can start finding out a bit more?

Errrrrrrrrrr , sorry no:rotfl:

That's what happens sometimes - I walk out of the door without saying goodbye. Doesn't mean I'm not concerned (I think about it a lot of the time) but merely that I just forgot about the formalities* (so much else for my my mind to attend to - perhaps people generally don't realise how much I have to do by thinking about whether or not to do it - but it's normal to me and always has been so I know no other way - I think most people just do things 'naturally' - see my quotes, I'm thinking about whether that's the absolute right word:rotfl::rotfl: - but, for me, going up to someone to say hello, or goodbye, isn't always easy - especially as you're in deep conversation with someone else which I cannot interrupt and seem oblivious to me being there:p. Until, later, it finally dawns on you:doh: that I have gone and then you grumble that I didn't tell you so. Well, when I receive no body language that enables me to tell when to interrupt without talking over you both, it's impossible o do so without hovering over and waiting for ages for you to finish your chat when, really, sorry I just have time to do that and I've got to go! So, that's why. I give up waiting - I'm sure you would too! - and I'm brutally sorry about it but I have my own things to be getting on with and doing!:):T. So that is an explanation. To me, my own surprise (though rather it isn't since I just boringly expect it!) is that it takes you so long to even become aware of my departure. It's like (some) things just do not click with people generally (that are plain obvious and immediately apparent to me). I wouldn't have thought of all this many years ago, but now I'm aware of my slight "differences", I can see it.

It does seem like a trip-wire sometimes - trying to do, or not do, things and make sure everything I do is totally acceptable. But, then, most people don't think about it - but then, me, struggling with the meaning of the word "acceptable" and its lack of any definition:rotfl:. And then - the thing is - I consider other people (no-one on here, I'm not talking about that) very regularly to be unacceptable to me - or more so the activities of some businesses - and nothing gets done because it's not seen as contrary to societal standards. But it still remains unacceptable to me. It's alright (of course it's not as it doesn't stop me being upset) - other people can be totally unacceptable but I must be completely acceptable in every way otherwise I would get into trouble and something would be done about me. Other people, however, seemingly, can just behave carte blanche and thoroughly wrong and fail to accept or recognise it and nothing at all be done about it, whereas really, for all the upset they cause me, I think they really seriously ought to be put into jail for it - that's how strongly it has upset me! But, it's alright, they can behave how they want apparently (no they can't in my view) whereas I have to comply with this useless societal trip-wire in many areas, imposed for absolutely no seeming reason at all other than the societal standard. Anyway, I'm just having a bugbear, as I'm alright! I'm not asking for permission to go around doing anything seriously wrong:rotfl:. Unlike what other people's activities do to me all the time! They are seriously wrong.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

Btw, I'm actually not talking about MSE here, I'm talking about something else. (Just to clarify:cool:.) I think, to some extent, I also like taking a contrary position to most people on some matters. There just seems to be no reason for some things at all, other than it's "just the way things have [always or long] been done". Which isn't an adequate or satisfactory reason to me (and, moreover, I don't see why I have to accept it). I've always been the argumentative (but polite) type:rotfl:.)

I'm sure that thinking about the illogicalities and standards of society is part of the criteria for an autism spectrum condition:rotfl:.

*Or, sometimes, I don't know what those formalities are.

Are you sure there wasn't a nursery there a good few years ago TM? There was one where we are and we find oddments of pots in the soil.

Latest round of rtc in A appears to be oils and vinegars.
Also got 500g of Tilda Jasmine rice for 60p and packs of sundried toms for 50p

Thanks for the heads up on the cereal bubbs...but think I have enough to be going on with.

It would be fine if people would stop eating:rotfl:
