I've nicked a title, opened the door, dusted off the bar.

Come in and drown your sorrows, celebrate or just hang out in good company.

SpringCrocus · 25/07/2021 00:57

Ok. @BlackeyedSusan. Truce. I'm not sure what you meant, I don't want an argument.
Lets agree to not agree and not get upset over it?

@SpringCrocus

BlackeyedSusan · 25/07/2021 00:50

BlackeyedSusan · 25/07/2021 00:49

I have been nothing but try to be kind to you over the past couple of days....

BlackeyedSusan · 25/07/2021 00:48

eh? just trying to be sympathetic with the experiences of our autism...

so it may not have come across well, what with both ends of the message having a communication disability but I am suffering after having several autistic meltdowns today. while ds
has had several meltdowns and dd has had a couple...

SpringCrocus · 25/07/2021 00:36

Fuck off with your disabalist comments. @BlackeyedSusan

BlackeyedSusan · 24/07/2021 23:53

And fucking noisy.

4autistic people in one flat, one of whom does not live here and no WiFi meltdown count in double figures

Had a supposed support thread, elsewhere. Not so supportive as I hoped, sadly. ASC seems to be so misunderstood.

Term ended the other day and I was given an extraordinary quantity of booze.

So I have restocked the bar.

I was delighted to see that someone has sent Ed Davey a copy of Helen Joyce's book: I checked because I thought I'd send him one if no one else had. I hope the bugger reads it: the LibDems have been 100% captured. I shall have the chance in a few days to ear-bash our local LibDem activist, and I will be lending her my copy of Helen Joyce if I've finished it by then.

I shall be curled up in a corner reading and imbibing.

Sneaks in a bit early for a sit down and the company of such good women. Struggling to contain my rage today having dipped into some awful threads on here and elsewhere.
Proffers home made lemon drizzle cake.

Bringing Flowers and Gin and some hankies for spring.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 24/07/2021 17:09

Spring Crocus - there's a sheltered area where we could organise an impromptu silent disco tonight or have an outdoor cinema for the film that best suits your mood.

There can be drinks and snacks.

The pizzas will be ready to go around 18:30 and the usual bits and pieces will be out before then.

ErrolTheDragon · 24/07/2021 15:50

I'm just back from a walk, which at one point has a couple of camelids in a field next to the track. The llama ignored us but the alpaca came and looked at us with huge brown eyes peering from under her (or maybe his, too floofy to hazard a guess) bouffant fringe.

Spring I am offering you a loan of my very soft and beautiful wool and cashmere blanket (bought for use in outside eateries during covid) so that you can snuggle whilst reading Trans, still waiting for my copy

Flowers Wine and remember, it's a loan, if you run off with it I will be very cross Grin

BlackeyedSusan · 24/07/2021 11:27

Brew Spring.

mollythemeerkat · 24/07/2021 10:33

Self Portrait - have a few animals and interpret dribbling as a sign of love so maybe Spring Crocus needs to be dribbled over and sorry to hear you are in the middle of such a distressing time Spring Crocus and hope things get better for you soon.

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 24/07/2021 10:19

SpringCrocus, I've got some of those tissues with balm in them for sore noses.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 24/07/2021 08:46

Finished pastries, croissants and bread etc. are in baskets - help yourselves.

There's cold cuts, cheese, and various bits in the fridge.
