What have you achieved recently??

What have you achieved lately? List whatever you like, big or small…

I haven’t achieved much sadly. I was on a bit of a downer these last few months as Snowflake, my cat, died suddenly. As she was literally my only friend losing her has hit harder than I imagined it would.

Anyway, one thing I’ve achieved is that every Saturday I’ve been going in to town and having a hot chocolate in the coffee shop. This is huge for me. I always feel anxious and part of me says ‘Are you nuts!?’ but I make myself do it and generally I feel OK when in there and enjoy it.
The coffee shop has been doing an Autistic Morning every Saturday, like our local Morrisons where they dim the lights and don’t play any music so autistic customers don’t get overwhelmed. If they hadn’t done this I wouldn’t have stopped for a hot chocolate the first time.

Definitely a big achievement for me!

    Our roads are nearly always mucky, and twisty and narrow with no formal passing places, at least you didn't have potatoes bouncing out the back of a trailer, this is a yearly hazzard round here, as are farmers with the bailing spikes down on thier tractors, probably in the hope of catching a good crop of cyclists who are such an embolism on our roads.

    Well done Desmond, that’s a great achievement, not an easy thing to do. Mucky roads in the country side were my least favourite part of driving! My car always felt like it was going to slide in to a hedge or something. Luckily it never did! I find farm workmen don't really care about road safety. They leave a lot of debris behind them and cars have to swerve out the way if it's too big. Personally I think they should clear it up after for safety reasons.
