Contracts exchanged today, so next week I leave Norwich & relocate to Gosforth, Newcastle. The buying & selling has been #autistic hell & packing a house alone has taken weeks. But it's worth it to be closer to my sisters. And oh, the landscape! A big city, a big river & beautiful hills!
Please share widely.
We are still recruiting to our survey exploring autistic people and people who are not autistic experiences of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in the UK. Thank you :)
Looking forward to chatting to my #autistic peers tomorrow (9th -not 7th April). A relaxed hour for #AutisticElders aged 50+. 11am-noon. Not a lecture, not a lesson, just us. Register to get the link.

The #RoyalMail #ParcelForce website has recently made accessing it's 📦collection service preferences impossible for those of us who can't use Apps. It says it does, but the links lead back to 'Use the App'. Microsoft does not support Google Play, so Royal Mail has updated to inaccessibility for me.
The first #AutisticElders online meetup is this morning. I'm looking forwards to a chat with my peers. If you're #autistic (incl self-diagnosed) over 50 yrs old & want to try something new this year, it isn't too late to register and join us.

A while ago I decided it's time to move on, so I'll be upping sticks & heading north. The For Sale sign is up & I'm house hunting 250 miles away. I'm ignoring research about #autism & change. Yes, change is scary, but ossifying is scarier.
Happy New Year everyone. 🎈

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
This message hits hard.
This is my week of quiet, Boxing Day - 2nd January, when offices & expectations pause. It's my favourite week of the year; some days to reflect, to look inward and imagine forward.
To my online friends, I wish you Seasons Greeting, and a gentle beginning to 2026. ❤️

Delivery pple are usually v good here. I know they're under pressure at Xmas & may be temp hires, but they should deliver to the door, not the garden. As no delivery note was posted, I don't know if anything's been stolen. One parcel was wet & crushed as if it'd been thrown. #Amazon #RoyalMail
Despite all the publicity about parcel deliveries, yesterday am, #RoyalMail dumped a 'tracked' parcel behind my bins in the front garden - I was home - no knock & no note through door. Same again pm. #Amazon dumped a present there too. I saw the parcels from the street, as could anyone.

When ever I go to the dentist, I come out with an urgent craving for chocolate. I'm not normally a chocoholic, but I'm dental phobic. Is it for sensory comfort, or my body needing sugar for shock? Is this an #autistic response, or is this response usual in everyone?

I had an operation last week & just had the stitches out today. I asked the surgeon when will it be OK to go back to the gym? and he said 'Give it at least a couple of weeks.'
Me out loud: Oh dear, that long? My inner face: 😁

What instructions will the Gov issue, to upload the digital ID card onto my phone? Until they supply me with a smartphone & pay for it's upkeep, they can forget it. Even if they did, I'd still choose not to carry a smartphone.
