Daffodils The Yellow Tickle Of Spring

It’s Metrological Spring but if only the sky got the message ! Yellow is the colour of the day you seriously can’t failed to be cheered by the yellow of Daffodils.They are a triumphant trumpet of colour

Daffodils the yellow tickle of Spring which we all need go let your eyes be tickled and let the yellow warm your heart soul and mind.

Go be a seeker of the tickle of Yellow.

And whilst we are all singing Happy Birthday washing our hands I think I would much rather recite some lovely poetry.

Thinking On the Sunshine

We are a world away again from the sunshine , the other day here in brightest Derbyshire we had a glimmer of sun that rare and noble beast which showed it's face  ( does the sun have a face ? not like the one in Telebtubbies I might add) .But at the moment the sunshine is rare as rare as a slug riding a cat into battle shouting a battle cry and then there are other questions I ponder why don't butteflies use umbrellas.But hey the sunshine will return I hope and that is what is needed a glimmer of hope to step onto and each glimmer of hope gets us to wear we want and need to be.


I love sunshine I do , I do think the rain and gloom is sometimes a bit of a nemesis a ptomaine villain if you will to be booed and hissed at with you wanting to shout at people



"It's behind you "


The other day on way to volunteer at a local infant school I came across a purple fence , it was bright and on your face but it was just a fence but it so much more than that on  a day like today when it is yet again raining like it is going out of fashion.It offers brightness in an otherwise dull day and on the day I saw it was bright and sunny it stood out all the more and made me smile, just think about that a simple purple fence made me smile.


You see different isn't scary or to be frightened of although it can be at first, I fully intend to live and love my life every which way I can everyday and without sounding like a positive quote instagram blog it is about first learning ro love yourself and really not knocking those achievements however small they might seem.I have put a load of washing on and actually nearly put a second load on! go me !

I have to be my own cheerleader at times and that is why social media is important to me but at the same time I no longer get hung up on social media , I don't actually know if anyone will read this and go I understand where you're coming from and gosh this struck a chord with me.

How To Get Things Done And Achieve Your Goals For The Day

Firstly if you own a cat or any kind of pet that places demand your day then I’m afraid you can pretty much scrub out achieving what you had planned for the day.My day started silly stupid no one should be waking this early - I had a headache it was 4.30 not a minute after it a minute before.

I glided downstairs effortlessly to the kitchen where the cat was waiting and demanded feeding.This was all before I could actually toss some paracetamol down my throat followed by a glass of water chaser.Then as I had left the kitchen door open the cat had slinked our so I had to go find him then drag myself back to bed.

When I woke up ( again ) at a more acceptable time there upon making myself breakfast and a cup of tea.Then I thought about the things I could achieve with my day then the cat happened again.

Disclaimer a cat or any other pet may seriously hamper your goals and achieve

Being Autistic To Me Is Like Wearing 2 Hats

Firstly I’ve always been autistic I didn’t suddenly wake up one Spring and thing “ Ooooh I feel different now “ I’ve always been different and it’s my different. Childhood was clunky I mean not many 3 year old years just sit and watch classic films.It was  70 s and no one battered an eyelid you were either good , bad , troubled or aloof somewhere in between.

I was the aloof one the one who at ballet thought collecting imaginary shells from the seashore was a whole load of hell .I have the coordination of a hippopotamus from Fantastia so no ballet wasn’t for me.

The struggles of academic life were always there as I had all the ideas and brightness but couldn’t actually communicate my ideas on paper. And maths was my mortal enemy I couldn’t do it however much I tried , it was only later I discovered I’ve got disculia. I was the weird genius type who knew all the answers.But just because you know the answers actually applying yourself in a comprehensive way on paper is hard.

Friends were a mismatch as I was the weird one who liked Dungeons and dragons and museums.Being autistic as I was obviously that way from birth when you get to school especially myself it was if I was prey on the African plains. I found children could sense I was different and would go in for the attack physically and verbally.This pattern followed me all through school I’m sorry to say.

Career wise it was the same pattern with work colleagues with must not understanding my aloofness.I feel that I’d be very good at coding or something like that because I’ve great attention to detail when I need to

So you see I wear two hats the one where I didn’t know I was autistic and the one where o found out I was autistic and the good thing about those two hats is that one fits upon the other making one combined hat.

But I endeavour like an adventurer through life because it’s one life and I’m going to make it count.
