Awake and up all night

The scan is tomorrow. I didn't think they would do them on a Sunday. Prince is taking me hospital about 20 minutes away. 

I have had a few scans on Sundays, I hope it went well.

Afternoon all 

We've had a busy day here having Thora & Remy from 9am-2pm. I taught them a new game  - who could be quiet the longest . They don't stop unless the TV is on and I won't have it on all the time they're here. 

I'm now drinking red wine

It's been quiet on here today.

Please come back. 

I was trying not to be patronising and clearly failing.

I know autism manifests in many ways and I was trying to advocate for those who do not fit perceived stereotypes NOT diminishing your challenges.

I have been around people and children with autism for many years. I am familiar with the now often besmirched term Asperger's and high functioning folk.

I worked in a residential school for children and young people with autism, eventually running their preschool unit. 

I have a number of friends and acquaintances with autism and know others who describe themselves as being on the spectrum. 

All just people, all very different from each other. Some have other issues alongside their autism, such as BPD, physical health problems and mental health issues.

How about I stop suggesting stuff and allow you to tell us what you may find helpful or would like help with.

We enjoy your chats about all sorts of other stuff so look forward to you being around when it's right for you.

Take care

I am so glad that you are home Julie. Hopefully, the sickness has settled down? 
You have done amazing. Well done you. xx

I agree, it makes a huge difference when everything is ok. It’s the waiting for results that is the worst. 
I am pleased to hear that the volcano is not going to erupt.

Sending hugs. xx

Soooo despite very ouchy foot I went off into town to meet Stressy at our 'new' culture venue. Our arty pal is running a series of bunting making workshops there. They are 'surprise' events for the visitors ... was a surprise to most of the staff too 

Of course lots of littlies there so soon Stressy was more interested in filling his belly.

Pal is having a ball and securing projects right and left, including one for a domestic abuse organisation!

What's everyone else been up to?

Cheers

Ooh how lovely enjoy the  peace or have you already jinxed it?

Did you get to negotiate your phased return? 

What are you looking forward to?

Cheers
