If spin-dryers were uninvented …
In days of yore when we were newly wed, it was awhile before we could afford a twin-tub or a spinner, and for a while I tried to squeeze – as Grandma...

War Confined?
If there were no bombs or dynamite, no nukes or WMDs men still would war, dispute and fight, but maybe more confined to battlefields – no missiles...

Sheep, flowers and sunlight
Park the car, hungry excited sheep and lambs run down to the gate …the conical steep wooded hill … what is that odd stick-stalk at the side of the way? Soon a troupe of them –

I suppose the lyrics of 'Cars
Posted on Mon, 14 Aug 2017
I suppose the lyrics of 'Cars' is suggesting the difficulties of facing handling social relationships, and wanting a place of retreat, to emerge when ready. Having many people around, all talking can be difficult if you have some Asperger...

Posted on Fri, 11 Aug 2017
You also show how trying to help can be quite gruelling and tiring, and complicated in having a constant change of newcomers to try to understand how they will take what you say, and the rules that have to be. You seemed to have had much...

Posted on Tue, 01 Aug 2017
We now have another lad to try to understand. Again, you seem to guess so much of the why of what can seem odd behaviours. Sugar relaxes away from tension and the jarring thoughts, doesn't it? I'm glad you brought in again his happy memories of...

Posted on Tue, 25 Jul 2017
I'd been wondering if you would manage to get back into this. You do seem to have a great ability in getting into his mind, sympathetically, and seeing how he might be seeing, feeling things.
I remember when my son was in (quite a small)...

Posted on Tue, 04 Jul 2017

The picture of your faithful

Posted on Thu, 22 Jun 2017
I would say that Darwin's theory is not sound science, but hypothesis, a suggestion, which if he were alive now, he would probably hesitate more to suggest, as the methods and evidence he believed would become more clear, have retreated with more...

This has a pleasing form and flow to it, Elsie, and hints in an unusual way at the situation there, and the memories.
