One four the road?
I has that many scars, it will fill five pages!to the injured and needy!
Over crowded. Mmm, went to the w8r5 the other day to get special BoPsie cheese, and people jumped out of their Chelsea Tractors and waltzed straight inn! No sanitation. Perhaps bee in a part and driving a Tractor makes them immune? Still, at the A1D!, people actually do sanitise! Having a Tractor does not give you sense!
Oh, and thumbs up, to those that can!!! (Sorry had too, I has weighted too days!)Prepare yourselfs for this!
There here we goes with the BoP lifes! Watched the cricket last night on the sky box. Putt me bet on three times, one for SA to get more that 169.5 runs! Now if I sit and watch, I can get a decent price, and when Stokes come out to bat, I got 100:30 on Engerland! So me free pennies from the free plays wents from 50 pennies to 98 pennies on the day! Now looking for the next one. If we reach £30 I liquidate to wobbleades!
Has me usual snorker and best back. Shed had bin the Veterans brakefest as well this morning, butt again off! Lucky we has one in September. Afters I had me fest, washed me wheels of steal and checked her over! Tyres and bits as well! All inn order! Kitty leapt off to the lawns on the fronts.
Putt the nip of the cats onto the flap. Well while I was doing the snorkers, she went out and I closed her flap. She can use it and come back inn! Bobbin Stitch! She went toop her flap training and she is a complete hopeless case! Even I opened it again, she just say and sulked! She is not doing the football too day for that!
Whiles I weres doing the wheels of steal, BoPsie did her bird feeders! We now has thousands of birds since the terminator Raffles went over rainbow bridge! Cannots believe that we has no deadstock since he went! Though Kitty when she bunny hops on the lawn, =was looking anxious at the local magpie!
Rights I has mes mug of tea and role this now! With some mint chocklate as well!
Keeps Daft!That is about right for it!

Ooh ampersand! Looks v painful. Rest and more rest, please.
Bala. re Aspergers. People on the spectrum are indeed often difficult to live with. But remember, none of it is your fault. You couldn't be expected to make a diagnosis, or know what to do.
Cranky - it must be so difficult to make every decision on your own. I wish I could give you your much needed break from always thinking and deciding.
Today
Weekly meeting in park with DD. Weather not as kind this week, but only drizzle so not too bad.
Saw a toddler with his mum and dad in the car park. When we saw them again in the park he greeted us like long lost friends. As we walked away, he blew kisses to us. Made my day!
And now it's properly raining.
Happy Saturday everyone

Hello everyone, thanks for the thoughts Bala and VJ's mum. My life is good really and I have nothing to complain about. Bala, the HT has EDS and frequently falls over because his ankles give way.
Pleasures for yesterday...
I made some more gingerbread biscuits
The HT was in a good mood when I collected him from school
Jacket potato with cheese and beans for dinner. Quick and easy and I was looking forward to it all day
I had a lovely hot bath - I get very cold and sometimes it's the only thing that warms me up properly
Online gaming with best friend - a quiet evening because we were concentrating but still good to have adult company for a few hours.
Take care all of you

Hello. Blooming freezing here and has been all day although was oddly not as cold at 5.30am when we went a wander.Really struggled with the alarm going off at 5am. I much prefer to wake up naturally. Anyway another 90 minutes added to next weeks pay.Collected my Christmas tree. Chap took it to my car and son brought it in for me...and dog had a sniff...as long as that’s all he does! It can sit there and acclimatise not decorating until December.Passed DD2 on her way to work ...caught the kiss she blew me!Boy did three trips back and forth to his flat with a jam packed car each time, so that’s him away. Bye boy, got a nice hug although the dog always tries to muscle in. He doesn’t like anyone getting cuddled if he’s not.Was back in at work for an hour doing a photo shoot! Blimey! Oh how we laughed...and oh how a white wig is really not my colour!Picked up some takeaway on way home. Was very yummy.DD2 has had better days at work so got that out her system!11

fabulous toccata & thanks for sharing, and glad you're healing well. dd2 tried to join you by crashing her toe into a shoe rack - rather a lot of blood, but kind neighbour (retired nurse) applied expert bandaging and reassurance. So for today, a truly glorious day if we ignore Luton's performance against Cardiff.
1) the feel of the soil as I planted up my pots, not least because I used leaf mould I retrieved clearing the steps down by the school (the one where i've been doing litter picks and sweeping the leaves - the leaf mould was an unexpected bonus)
2) the sight of people enjoying themselves canoeing on the riiver
3) the smell of aerosol cans as I walked past graffiti artists plying their craft on the graffiti wall
4) the sound of friends' laughter in person. Coffee outside with 2 friends i haven't seen since February, another friend i haven't seen since January walked past so had long chat with him, then met up with 2 other friends, again not seen since before lock-down for tea and doughnuts
5) the taste of those doughnuts with chocolate dipping sauce

2 observations that I regard as pleasures (but others may think I'm potty).
My old wooden rickety table. It has to be scrubbed regularly because of the deposits that are left there for me. Not the birds, the foxes. But it doesn't matter how often I clean it as soon as it has dried I see new shoots growing. Bird seed that has decided to grow just where it is. It always makes me wonder in awe at the determination of life.
2nd observation. When walking Tiggy I now recognise the scent of fox scat (see above). So this urbanite is succeeding in becoming more 'country'. By an urbanites standards of course !
Suffolk Sue, Frith, House Elf, Nargleblast, thinking of you.
To all, have a sumptuous Sunday............

Bala - whether knowing a diagnosis will make it easier I'm not sure.
1. Phone call with my parents.
2. Chat with a neighbour.
3. More people viewed the house next door hopefully someone will buy it soon.
4. Spoke with DS1 on the phone.
5. Enjoyed watching rugby.12 -
Morning VL.
Yes, am trying to understand. Trying not to feel guilty over the thoughts I have had. Trying to work out where the 'disability' ends and the person begins. Personality/character, choices.

Difficult situation Bala, any organisations out there who can help with specific questions?
For yesterday,
Bit of a lie-in followed by eggy bread for breakfast.
Changed out the door wreath, winter one is a willow pentacle. We have Ivy in the garden but no Holly so need to go foraging.
My horse’s soft wicker when she hears my voice as I come into the barn, her stable is at the other end but she knows her Mum.I had picked up a few nets of horse carrots for the yard owner and a wheelbarrow full of their favourite treats got all the horses heads over their doors, sniffing the air, as I went by.
Mr Blackbird fully immersing himself in the bird bath.
Chicken Enchiladas for tea.13 -
Morning all, and thank you, Bala, for reminding me to post some pleasures. I had three busy work days Wednesday, Thursday and Friday so yesterday was a catch up day.
Lovely walk with dog, first time since Tuesday (son still living at home so walks her when I am at work.)
Delivery of scented tealights and wax melts, the downstairs of the house was then scented with Evergreen Mist, subtle but fresh.
Delivery of online butcher meat order, I love to have a full freezer.
The first coffee from my coffee machine since Tuesday.
Winter skies in the early mornings, pale blue streaked with pink.
The pleasure of deleting 50 emails from my junk mail folder, all Black Friday/invest in bitcoin/take this drug for an amazing erection....all stuff I have no use for. How the hell do they get my email address?
A quick trip to Sainsbury's, where I managed to get some small gifts for Christmas stocking fillers, things that can go in the post, also next year's calendar for the kitchen, one with scenes from nature, and it's in recyclable packaging too, no plastics.
First taste of home made raspberry rum, beautiful.One life - your life - live it!15
