The picture of my mind changes, of course, but that is the base upon which now, um, keeps me alive... um... changing subject!!

WebPM, somewhere, said to keep the pictures under 1 MegaByte, and/or smaller than 800x800 Pixels, somewhere... and so I did that, but there was one other picture (or two) which I was going to Post yet could not Post. So it is still pretty up-in-the-air...

...and as I said before (I think), I posted some random pictures in attempt to revive this Thread... and but for your doing so anyway, I was going to leave off to avoid drowning in "children". Is it like this at this time every year, is what I wonder...

Hi again,As we seem to be the only ones here at this late hour 01:17 ! 

Maybe I can give reason for the names of the two doggies, the tan and white one has two white front paws,they look like socks,

I think she is more beagle like in her markings and traits, keen nose for tracking,very intelligent,a good fetcher of anything thrown.

The black one was easy to name, her first time at home as a tiny pup she went under a very low cupboard,it had much dust under it, when she came back out her nose was covered in dust.so dusty it was to be.she is so Labrador in her ways, food orientated,loves food, is more cuddly, seeks attention, very soft towards children,lazy,likes her food,,,,,did I mention she likes her food,Lol.

They are lovely dogs,friends,companions,they really do sense our emotions,they are part of our family and give much joy.

They even give joy on here,

Lovely picture DC, nice to see you back, I keep looking at the picture of your mind ! It fascinates me, if I concentrate and focus hard I can see amazing pictures within, 

May I say it is more orderly than mine,mine would be mixed up and tied up in knots.

I have tried posting pictures,but they must be to big in file size as they just won’t upload, It is a real shame when some but not all pictures suddenly vanish,leaving the written words with no context!

This is to LoneWarrior, written about 2 days after. Glad Tidings to yourself and to Dusty and Socks. Sometimes I see someone else's pets and give them my own names, and it is all goodwill regardless of that. Names and labels do not matter... and this could start a new "Pets" Thread, maybe... (not necessarily with pictures, it would be a site for Animals yet + Autistic persons)...

...and this is a picture of where I live. A language all of its own. And Copyrighted officially and all. I wait to see what happens to all of these pictures...

This is a picture of my mind, on occasion...

I had thought that this Thread might have dropped off partly due to certain pictures, and so I re-Post my already Posted elsewhere picture, taken during the TallShipsFestival upon the River Thames...

post back up to the front. Just wanted to say thank you again to Disallowed cynosure for starting this post. I came looking for it as I feel an urge to be random, 

Um... Greetings to all. So far. As you (those thus far) may know of myself... I do not "chat". But I am saying a Thank You and a  "どういたしまして" out of (my own) Common Courtesy here. I know that I have not Posted much in two/three days... because I am scared of the amount of "I have a child" stuff here right now! Not Joking! 

I put the quote there, to say that, in this case the word "Post" actually means "Thread", which is one part of the "language" of this "forum" which I have been told (by oktanol, I think). This Post/Reply is long, and so I am sending/posting it now...

ok moving this lovely post back up to the front. Just wanted to say thank you again to Disallowed cynosure for starting this post. I came looking for it as I feel an urge to be random,

Well, some of you may remember that I went on a ten mile /5 hour hike with the ramblers association a couple of weeks ago.

And... My toes got cramped and crushed in my boots.  One of my toe nails turned black with dried blood and two weeks later it still looks like this.

I know that letter well! I try to avoid it at all costs. 

Here is the nice letter they sent me.

You don’t have to sporty. Who said we need hope in our hearts. Just jump on over into your world whenever you get the chance. When I’m in my world I’m happy, even when I’m sad. It’s all the same. It’s when I tread into nt territory that I get shaky. I’m keeping out of it as much as possible from now on. Sending you a hug. 

Good to hear from you Robert. I feel exhausted just reading about your week. I think I need to get out more! Oh wait. I can’t. I’m too exhausted. 

I don’t mind though. I told the job centre that I wouldn’t look for a job. I was freaking out. That’s when the job centre manager came and reassured me that I didn’t have to look for a job and that they’d never expect me to go for just any old job. 

Now they’re trying to shaft me. They kept telling me that I must get the gp to write the exact same thing on the sick note. Now they’re saying they can’t accept my sick note because it says the same thing. I told her I’m not looking for a job and she said I’ll have to put something on the system as if I am, then get a new sick note saying something different. 

My surgery had already called me anyway to ask me to go and see my gp so I’ll get another note but it all looks a bit dodgy to me. Like they’re getting people on the new benefit then kicking them off if they  don’t comply with what they want them to do. 

I don’t mind. I’m grateful I’ve got a roof over my head right now and tomorrow’s another day. Or is it? Maybe it’s all just one long continuous day. :) 

As soon as anyone starts asking me for proof of ID etc, I start freaking out and I want to walk away right there and then. I hate that. 

I would like to take a hug if I may Lone, and send some out in return to anyone who might like an extra one, strictly virtual of course! January is always hard for me, I've yet to meet it with hope in my heart.

Oh yeah, and nobody batted an eye. And yes, the shades were really helpful. I’m going to do it more often. My eyes felt less strained, my attention seemed more focused, I felt more relaxed. Plus, I like my sunglasses better than my regular glasses, so why not! ;) and they definitely help with sensory processing. I’m after some noise cancelling headphones as well, so can’t wait to get them. Headphones, dark shades, wellies and flat cap, I’ll be sorted! :) 

I've had a varied week with several meetings with my multiple advisors.

On Wednesday I had a proper job interview coming up.  So on Tuesday, one organisation helping me gave me a mock interview.  The email inviting me to the interview was very formal, insisting that I bring multiple proofs of my right to live and work in the UK. And proof of ID and address etc.  The also insisted on dressing in 'business attire'.

The actual interview was very different.  I suspect that the email was sent by the head office.  The interviewers were very informal in dress and manner.  The staff were dressed in normal clothes, t shirts with tattoos on arms (men and women had tattoos).  The interview itself was held in what I would describe as a wooden summerhouse/garden shed, at the bottom of the garden.

Today I had two meetings, one with work coach at a job centre. The other with my employment  specialist / mental health case worker. Next month he wants me to attend an 'ESS assessment' ( it's a test of my level of maths and English), it's a condition of their funding.

Of coarse you can ellie, I have plenty for all.

Random bit,,,,,,

Been a very long day today!

my mind wasn’t focused on work.

Seems I was due to hit a low as lately I have been feeling very happy emotionally. 

Maybe I just ran out of energy?

just couldn’t keep going?

I don’t really know. Emotions are difficult for me, 

Recently being told I was of use kind of hit me hard, For once in my life I had to accept I had done something right.

TenaciouseT and BlueRay were so nice telling me I was kind and had helped out.

I ran away as my emotions couldn’t cope. That all familiar push pull feeling, 

anyway feeling a bit better now, the day just dragged on, we got little done but it was the fault of management not me.

Glad some accepted the hugs,,,,,,I can give freely but accepting I know is hard,,,,,

Fab! What a picture. Someone told quite a while ago that they wore shades to make it easier to be out and about in the street so I think that a good idea but not tried it yet. I expect Whitby folk are used to wellies. If the combination made you more at ease... why not?
