Travels of an addled brain to somewhere near normality whatever that might be when it's at home.

The Refuse Bin Saga Goes On
Oh Look! This is the result we got from our complaint to our local MP (Caroline Ansell), that our bin is still being left up the road, obstructing the path, despite our address being on the disability support list. We have been on this list for 7 years and because we are on this list, our bin is supposed to be collected from where we leave it and then put back in the same place.
I'm pretty sure that I left my bin in the same place last night, that I have left it every Thursday evening for 7 years (barring stays in hospital and so on , when I wasn't there to do this). I got up this morning and in the vain hope that action had been taken by our MP (Caroline Ansell) as she had said would happen, I checked outside for my bin. Instead of being left where I had left it last night, in the gap between our building and the next, along with our neighbours' bins), all the other bins had been put back and our bin was the only one left on the path several doors away.

Water Vapour Is A Gas? Climate Change The Science With Future Learn
I must have missed that class in school science where we were taught that water vapour is a gas???
"Water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice."
So water vapour is the gaseous stage of water. I'm 61 and just learned that

Been Busy With my New Hobby While Helping Local Children
I started learning to crochet granny squares a few months ago and have since been donated lots of yarn.
I'm currently helping out Street Knits, who have a facebook group HERE, by crocheting square comforters for children staying in refuges.
Street Knits is for those who knit garments for Warming up the Homeless to distribute to the homeless on the streets. Each garment has a label carefully sewn into it as a form of identification. If one of our homeless meet with an accident or die, the emergency services will know that they are known to us and that we can offer assistance, if necessary.
My latest designs are here. I call the red/pink/brown design my icecream square as it reminds me of Neopolitan ice-cream

False Memories Can Destroy Relationships
Open note to the person or people to whom this may concern.
Please have a read of the article this post is linked to.
This is why I would never go to a therapist nor encourage anyone else to.
Too many relationships can be destroyed because memories are not static and can appear to be genuine when they are completely false.
After repeated conversations on Psychology (generally) and false memories (in particular) over many years, I have sadly had to make the decision to walk away from someone who was someone I used to be close to.
If they happen to come across this blog they might know that this note is for them, but more than likely they won't since they appear at this time to believe the memories they have been sharing with friends and family.
