    We had a walk along the canal near the Olympic Park on Saturday and picked up all kinds of birds including parakeets, chiffchaff, ringed plover and cetti’s warbler

    There’s even a thread somewhere

    I dreamed of negative splits. For non runners he finished in 3:37:36 So pleased for him

    The crowds are ludicrous

    I’ve never seen anyone more relaxed in my life as he headed out this morning. Thanks again for all your kind words and encouragement

    Proud parent? Nervous more like. He’s done all the work. I just hope he gets his reward. So looking forward to cheering him on his way. Thank you to everyone who helped him smash his fundraising target.

    There’s a lot to be said for the mute button

    I’m going to my son’s tomorrow. The range of birds he gets around his garden compared to ours is amazing. Have I said that before?
  11. Champ
    Haha. It’s very nice either way
  12. Champ
    Is that your neighbours’ acer?

    I think it’s just been too cold. Here anyway. I read earlier this week that peppers need 18° to germinate. I’d planted mine what feels like weeks back. Nothing and then this week I’ve almost been able to watch them as they peep through the compost. Same for other trays that I was ready to ditch
  14. Champ
    What have you sown?

    No shame in buying vegetable seedlings. The alternative is to buy a packet of say 100 seeds and you only want 5. However, once your plants starts to grow there’s a fair amount of work if you actually want a decent crop. They may be the best tomatoes you ever eat but they won’t be the cheapest, in time or money

    …but here are my first tulips

    We’re a long way off hydrangea flowers here
  18. Champ
    I’m going to have to have a look now. I was a spoilt child; turned the tv off at full time and went to bed

    Mine are nowhere near as far on as that. I’ve taken a bit of a shine to them, inspired by my son’s gf and I’m planting out 2 hydrangeas I had in pots, adding to an existing one, to make a bit of a white (hydrangeas) and blue themed border. I have this image in my head; whether it turns out like it only time will tell
  20. Champ
    And is that a hydrangea in full leaf to the right?

    It looks fabulous against the brickwork

    Thanks, Babbs and good luck. There really does appear to be increasing recognition of the prevalence of neurodivergence and also the hereditary nature of AS conditions. I’m at the stage of testing almost all behaviour through the prism of neurodivergence on a personal and professional level. In a work setting it is quite easy to identify the ‘there in plain sight’ explanations of parents’ difficulties managing their children’s behaviour and equally their difficulties engaging successfully with ‘support’ services. I wonder about myself sometimes but couldn’t justify taking up a place on overstretched waiting lists. I’m probably largely an ‘introvert’ with ADHD traits trying not to be too hard on myself

    I would love to hear what brought you to looking for an assessment but understand if you’d rather not

    These issues were exceptionally rare to non existent when I first started working but responding to the distress of young people who present with gender identity issues has become an increasingly significant part of our work. As time has gone by it has also emerged that many of these young people who are seen by medical and psychological services are being assessed as being on the autistic spectrum. I’m not sure whether they’re 2 separate conditions or if gender identity is a young person seeking to find an explanation for their difficulties negotiating the world around them. But you’re right, Howie, if as I think you’re suggesting, this group is getting access to ASD assessments not open to the wider population which may in itself be skewing the figures

    Services are absolutely overwhelmed
