I watched a program on TV about the brilliant scientist, Sir Isaac Newton. One professor truly believed Newton had Asbergers. He had poor social skills and was obsessive and very secretive about some of his magnificent discoveries. This was an informative and fascinating program.

This book looks like a very valuable tool when one suspects a friend or relative just might have such a problem. Louise is a very wise and courageous lady!

Good on you, Janet. And don't forget to use bicarb to clean out the oven. Lay on with water, heat and scrub off. Beats those toxic oven cleaners.

I've recently started using white vinegar and/or bicarb, great for shower, toilet, basins, washing floors and have been very impressed with the results. It's MUCH cheaper. The bonus is, they're better for us and the environment too! Started a vegie patch in tubs this year too, mmmm, so far we have enjoyed home grown lettuce, capsicum and shallots. Still waiting on the cherry tomatoes and radishes - not long now - and then there's the passionfruit, pumpkin, potato, zucchini, strawberries ...!

Thank you so much for your timely advice. I have a tip to share that I began to use a few years ago ...until one day I discovered one minor flaw. I would buy 2 loaves of bread, 500gms of ham, 1 bottle of "green tomato relish", 1kg block of cheese. Lay bread out on the bench make sandwiches en mass= ham, cheese, pickle, then cut, bag and freeze! Perfect just bring a bag out of the freezer pop into the lunch box and voila! School lunch in an instant. Sandwiches are thawed by lunch time (especially in QLD) or pop into the fridge the night before in winter. As supplies get low simply replenish when items are on special.
I was really proud of my time and money saving efforts when my eldest son was in Prep that it took me till October that year to realise that the poor darling had had the same sandwich for lunch (all be it a fresh one!) each day since his first day back in Feb!!!! And he did not complain once! It wasn't till I asked him if he enjoyed school that he asked "Mum could I please have a different sandwich tomorrow?, maybe honey?" that it dawned on me.
I have since modified my technique. Now that I have 3 hungry boys at school, I have discovered how to vary the fillings, just a bit.
There must have been some security in routine for my eldest - at least he could rely on lunch being the same everyday! Whoever said variety is the spice of life? They were right :) God bless xx

I try to do a bit too, skirting around the past rogue weather in sunny Queensland. Vegies gardens are becoming the new craze up here!

2011-06-03T16:47:13.690-07:00

Good hints there Simone. I started growing my own vegetables and herbs last summer, and am still picking the tomato-berries. Beautiful flavoured tomatoes that are shaped like a strawberry. This year I'm going to give mini fruit trees a go. I live on my own, so being able to pick vegetables and herbs when I need them saves a lot of wasted food.

Blessings,
Lyn

Forgiveness is certainly the key to most of earthly 'issues'. It was about time this issue was dealt with in fiction so comprehensively.

As you know, Paula, I love this book. It is a great book that for me showed in special ways heaps about forgiveness - including accepting God's forgiveness as well as forgiving yourself.
A great interview, Wendy!
