Did anything good happen today? July 2018

Thank you, I'm his proud mummy :-) but Daddy did get some pics & video.  He would only try the running one. It was loud and he is in year 1 so it was a lot for him.  He did great. 

That's brilliant. And it's great to have a proud daddy/mummy in here.

What races did he do?

Do you work in a school? Me too!

I use the toilet at my work for this too, though it’s not dark and I barely breathe if someone comes in. It’s amazing how relaxing a place they can be though, as long as no ones done something god awful in there beforehand! 

We had a semi successful day at school for sports day. My little man finished two races, he had a bit of melt down after the second one but I am very proud of him. Proud of my baby :-) 

I managed to replace a lamp shade and bulb which looks prettier than the last. Every time I switch on the light I am prompted to remember this uplifting achievement.

We have a separate toilet that has an automatic light, if you sit still it goes out quite quickly,,,,,just a suggestion if using the second one!

So sudden darkness and minimal back ground noise,,quite relaxing and a chance to just regather oneself before going back into the arena of life.

I could say to @Possibly Austistic that going deep into my own head is dark and peaceful but although it is sometimes in a dark area it certainly isn’t quite! Total opposite in fact,,,it never stops and at this time far to much  flicking of switches as I struggle to just keep going.

The darkness sounds relaxing, but I don't like using public toilets as lots of other people use them and they look a mess lol. 

I put up a curtain rail today all by myself. Well not quite all by myself, hubby was there directing me but I did all the work by myself. I even got to drill 6 holes in the wall.

I enjoy drawing comics, and I did a lot of that today. I am proud of how far I have come with it.

I am finally getting round to a few things, saw the GP.about my cough and have an appointment to check for asthma on the 14th August. After a lot of grief, including the fact that our phone and net provider decided to do maintenance just as a new media box was being set up here, I can now have both video and dvd....still have to switch cables though.

And I found an excellent quality ghost film on You Tube here:

Sounds blissful! (Never thought I'd say that about a public toilet). 

Wished I had somewhere at my job that I could retreat to by myself with minimal stimulus and an absence of people. 

I've just been to my first ever samba band rehearsal. It was 2 wonderful hours of mostly non-verbal communication, rhythmic sound and vibration of the bass drums through the floor. The teacher explained the rhythm patterns and meaning of the different hand signals well and in the space of just 2 hours, I felt that I learnt a lot. 

I enjoyed connecting through the music, swaying to the rhythm and seeing others enjoy the experience too. 

I highly recommend it. 

Here in London today... Clouds... and even an attempt at Rainfall. 

...HUZZAH!!!

I made an unexpected discovery: I went the loo at work. There are 2 loos and they are individual rooms with automatic lights, except one has a light that doesn’t work. Of course I always avoid this one, but today someone was in the other one so I went into the dodgy one and shut the door. Well, its quiet in there, and PITCH BLACK. It was the most wonderful thing ever: Total sensory rest. Someone has put a torch in there to use, which obviously  I did use after a minute or two, but now I know where I can go when the classroom or playground noise gets too much
