Dealing with special education needs and the pitfalls thereof
Comfortably numb…
Life, at the risk of sounding self indulgent and more than a little self pitying can best be described in the title above. At least for the time being and that’s ok with me. Comfortably numb sits comfortably. I have loved this amazing song for many years but, you will forgive me if I defer… Continue reading Comfortably numb…
Tick Tock
The clock relentlessly ticks & chimes. It is insistent but dull; a constant in the background, a drone of bees. When I wake there are moments where I cannot recall what or why but the fog lifts and I am jabbed, sharply. Ouch. Why is time so tritely passing in the blink of an eye yet… Continue reading Tick Tock
Smoke & Mirrors…

Melancholia….
I’m pretty sure that’s not the most inspiring name for a blog post, nor one that makes you think “oooh, this will be a rip-roaring laugh which I must sit down and digest with lashings of ginger beer & a cream tea (a touch of the Enid Blyton’s has come over me this morning; I… Continue reading Melancholia….
Shiny happy people….
I’ve noticed a theme in many of my blog posts – the titles often spring to mind based around music. Although I’m not quite sharing the lyrical prose, more precisely the sentiment behind Shakespear’s line: “if music be the food of love, play on!” I think it’s apt that music evokes so many thoughts, memories,… Continue reading Shiny happy people….
