The picture unseen
I take a lot of pictures every day these days. Maybe two or three make it to instagram, or my fb page, or sometimes here. Quite a lot just don’t fit the mood and they languish, on camera, on ipad. Like this flower. One of the blooms that I think will be polished off by…
A chink in the clouds
Sunrise at 07.21 – I was there maybe ten minutes later, just in time to see the sun peeping through clouds. Within ten minutes it had greyed out completely, so I think I was lucky. I drew during support group, while listening. And failed to buy jeans for blogfest on the way back, because…
Autism, anxiety and mindfulness.
Thursdays are hard for me at the moment because I finally started attending an autism support group. Not a carers group, a post diagnosis group for myself, to help with aspects of living with aspergers. For me, and indeed many people with ASD diagnosis, autism comes with a high level of anxiety, that feeds…
Birthday presents and white lies
Smallest had a pottery tea set. It’s been broken once or twice, and glued back together, but it suffered a catastrophic smash a couple of weeks ago. This made her sad. While wandering around a shop just to see what it was about I spotted a tin tea set that I knew she’d love, but…
Tony Attwood on autism in females – my thoughts.
This video is just over 30 minutes long. It’s worth every single minute if you have any interest in understanding how autism plays out in women. It’s very different to how it plays out in boys.

Things I love about netflix – the musical version.
Today is the anniversary of the first airing of Buffy Season 6 episode 7 the musical episode also known as Once More With Feeling. We started a tradition last year of watching it and singing along, and tonight we continued that tradition. Handily, it’s all on Netflix 🙂 I think that’s what I like most…
Wordless wednesday – a beach scene
(Actually this has a lot of words behind it. But for another day. )
Ginger bread and butter pudding
I have a habit of haunting the reduced shelves in the local coop. Recently they’ve been having some great deals on milk – we get through a lot anyway, but whenever there’s a big bottle (6 pints!) I bring it home and make some kind of milk pudding. Last night I grabbed a reduced price…
