A very happy, smiley girl is settling to sleep tonight, she's had a great Birthday. The whole day has felt like a Magic Moment (click here to read my earlier post and see some pictures), it's been lovely. She's had a fab day at school, we'd taken in some... Read more

This seems an appropriate Music Monday for today, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping away and the flowers are blossoming. Spring has sprung! Today's Music Monday is the first record I saved up and bought with my pocket money. I bought it from... Read more

Today's Music Monday is "Temptation" by Heaven 17, a song that always makes me sing along and laugh as I do so due to the different pitches of voices. Here's the video from YouTube - click to view - I prefer listening to it without the video, sometimes... Read more

Today's Music Monday is in honour of my friend who's birthday it is today. She doesn't text/tweet/email so I'm going to have to *quelle horreur* use snail mail and post it off to her. I've mentioned the song previously that got me into music - Ultravox's... Read more

I dropped T and D off at their schools this morning and, as usual on a Monday, my thoughts turned to what song I'd choose for today's "Music Monday". The obvious choice was something from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", I'm surprised... Read more

Today's Music Monday is a "get up, get on with it" song. A bit of motivation too. It's also one that D sings in music at school. I can't imagine how cute that must look (and sound), 8 SN children stomping away to this song! Here is the official video... Read more

Today's Music Monday combines D's favourite series of films and the song that she likes to sing and hear most of all. It's "Firework" by Katy Perry, the lyrics are just wonderful. So positive and basically saying be yourself, accept yourself and others... Read more

This is THE song that first got me into music. I remember being in a school play (I was an ant, part of an Ant machine, nothing to do with Adam and the Ants btw) and we were backstage, putting on our black ant costumes, which I think were leotards and... Read more

What was it my Grandma would say? "A change is as good as a rest" Unfortunately it's not if you are parenting autistic children. Our children don't cope very well with change, at all. The need to have a well-structured routine and advance notification... Read more
Today's "Music Monday" is by Talk Talk. I watched this video with D over the weekend and she loved all the insects and animals in it, make sure you watch right to the end, after the music has stopped, lovely wildlife shots. Lyrics first: "Baby Life's... Read more
Good morning, injection day for D, didn't go brilliantly but it's done. Poor thing. Hope everyone's day goes well #autismparent

Someone is eating a bacon roll on the train. Smells wonderful. Resisting the urge to leap up werewolf-style and scoff it. 🐷
