just ate my post again. That makes me so mad!!!! I need to remember to copy everything before attempting to publish. Makes mental note...hah! With a sieve instead of a memory, fat chance.

Oh, buggrit, fast action replay.

This is what I did yesterday:



Two hour beading class, couldn't;t quite hack working out how to do cabs on my own from a book. Ok, so not rocket science, but easier with a tutor, and I have it now. I only wish I could find the two pretty dichroic cabs that I had bought last year, and had I thought, taken with me yesterday and that now seem to have disappeared...

Then, book group last night. "The curious incident..." (Mark Haddon) Super book. Everyone loved it, and I was glad to hear from some of the group members with experience that it is a reasonable facsimile of Asperger's. The disturbing thing was two people who, although loving the book per se, felt very strongly that it was not and should not be a children's book. I did try to press them for their reasons, and no-one was, I think, convinced. But one of them seemed to be saying that children shouldn't read about people who are "abnormal" (sic) I found that rather chilling, and although I don't want to give the whole context, doubly disturbing and also unexpected from the particular source, a woman whose life history should have made her more tolerant of "difference" rather than less...ah well.

OK - so who can tell me why I should have seen something like two dozen coaches under police escort fore and aft on the motorway yesterday? Weird sight.

And - I don't spindle spin whilst being dummy, but Pete does! (sometimes.) He also always spindles at book group, and the one time her forgot to take it, they all got upset. I think they like the eternal pink yarn, meself.

Impressive precis! (Takes copy...)
