Have had a mailing from a Christian arts conference in the Netherlands, with a booking form that asks me 'What artistic raining have you had?' [sic]. Well, I don't know really - it was raining sideways into my ear on Sunday, does that count as artistic?
Which reminds me of 'autistic', which reminds me that I went on a group tour yesterday around the Tree House school for autistic kids, which was founded by Nick Hornby and his friends and is now in a beautiful new building in vibrant Muswell Hill. (Right next door, incidentally, to a psychiatric hospital where I have memories of visiting my late brother). It doesn't take Asperger kids, so no use to us, and anyway GB is doing well in mainstream, with some hiccups. Actually the head of another private school, for the whole autistic spectrum, was there, but this is only primary so not relevant to us either. I so wish it had been there when we were looking for a primary school - it's even in Crouch End where he used to go to Montessori.
Met another Aspie parent there who, after a few mins of conversation, said ' Do you have a blog?' Turns out she has been reading this - I can't believe how many people find this blog. So Sandra, if you're reading, hello there.
