Today I mainly ate Skittles.


I also looked at Pet of the Day in the London Paper (my secret daily wallow in sentimentalism - skip the earthquake in China, straight to the fluffies). Today it was a Samoyed dog who likes looking after his friend, a blind tortoiseshell cat. I nearly blubbed.

  • 4 weeks later...

had a blood test this morning and got to work later than usual

Googled the amalfi coast

Researched ivf

posted on two other forums

Ordered some organic non animal product body wash

sorted out my diary

cancelled two magazine subscriptions

considered many times responding to my brother's out of the blue email but havent yet..


and that's about it I think..

I have made a fresh fruit salad...all that chopping is a great way of procrastinating;

now I am listening to Streisand's Greatest Hits which is a great source of distraction - it takes great concentration to sing both the Neil Diamond and Bab's parts of You Don't me Flowers Anymore.

I've written four paragraphs so far today...good job I'm not writing a sequel to War and Peace.

Oooh - gotta run, No More Tears, Enough is Enough is coming up....I've got a whole dance routine for that one.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
