A very well researched novel which, alongside Picoult's usual 'heading to a trial' plot, explores many facets of and perspectives on Asperger's Syndrome. The potential and common effects of AS on siblings is especially well documented here. As gripping and informative a book as Nineteen Minutes

Loudon Wood, feet and newts
After many years of searching in vain, we finally found Loudon Wood stone circle. The length of time was contributed to by a council sign pointing into completely different, unconnected bit of wood – ignore that and use google maps instead if wanting to visit! Beautiful place. Davie put on music down by the pond as he set [...]
of Russians and swans
Totally loving the gorgeous springness that is all around now Had some lovely wild garlic pesto yesterday and think may do same today. Seems to have less of a garlic hit when very young though still very good. Swans are still following us around – whooping ones fly over the garden and woods regularly just [...]
reflections and windows
The bridge did get finished: Now this may appear to be a blurry photo gone wrong – well, it is - but it is also a picture of trees reflected in chocolate so worthy of inclusion It is a montezuma’s very dark bar… Related posts:photosknitted digestionbeach

Looked out the old class music etc. I have but it’s all on cassettes – [...]

The Bristol Dyslexia Centre has some interesting stuff on it’s site including some free educational games taken from the [...]

snow and trees
A stroll round the garden yesterday: Wonderful things that help us through the Scottish winter: hot water bottles filled from the big kettle on the wood stove each night, so cosy for the feet and full spectrum light bulbs, good for the mood in the dark times Related posts:broad beanssunsetraindrops
