    The arboretum in Nottingham is about 400 yards fromΒ  Trent Uni, and the area is infested with student housing. From the photos they don't look like they are doing much studying.

    I think you are correct B,3,,son has seen specialist,bi polar and autism doesn't get better or change over time.They won't prescribe Lithium because there is no guarantee he would be able to visit the surgery for the frequent blood test required GP said he could try going to the nearest Hospital,son doesn't drive, would be unable to spend an hour on a bus to get there.

    I was head zookeeper for 3 hours today while my wife hid away and pretended to work. Since it was a nice day I thought I'd get some tidying up done in the garden. Normally 3 solid hours of work would have transformed the place but I think I managed about an hour and a half of tidying and the other hour and a half chasing kids about, removing things they shouldn't have from their thieving little hands and preventing them from injuring themselves or each other. In that 3 hours they've probably done enough damage that it will take me an hour to sort it all out, including emptying gravel from all the watering cans, cleaning a surprising amount of scattered compost from the decking, replacing a very trampled Bowles Mauve, rebuilding part of my dry stone wall and finding where the little ba**tards hid my left glove.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I thought the watering can was blocked today so I tipped it out. Out dropped a very dead soggy mouse.Β  T'other half has resurrected the idea of ladders inside watering cans.Β  He now has a 3D printer to play with.

    I have plenty of spares :p They're one plant that I can grow well from cuttings and attract lots of interesting bugs so they'll be a permanent feature here for a while.Β
