It's a common problem. Same with academic titles. Men are given them, women's are often left out.

Depends on the young people, but I often think sensory-based activities can work well.

I’m uncomfortable with Emma begging Ed for forgiveness and Ed saying he will “try”, but that it will take time 🙄 She really hasn’t done much wrong towards him and loving someone should mean that forgiveness comes easily. IMHO. #TheArchers

Do I need to do the thread here about the Vikings and people with disabilities? Do I need to tell the tale of Ivar the Boneless? Or the seer in the ship burial at Oseberg? Is that what needs to happen?

Here’s a new poem called ‘To Be Pacific’.

To Be Pacific

Why do you always go off on a tandem,
say goodbye without further adieu?
It’s time you climbed down from your pedal stool –
this is not a phrase you’re going through,
 
when antidotal evidence suggests
you’ve been freewheeling right from the start.
Or rather, from the gecko, as you might say.
You’re always upsetting the apple tart.
 
I can’t be asked to correct you these days:
it takes two to tangle, I won’t deny it.
But when push comes to shovel and all’s set and done,
I just want a little piece of quiet,
 
to curl myself up in the feeble position
so I can give my poor ears some rest bite
from these sayings which do not pass mustard,
the flaws in the ointment you cite.
 
You’re no escape goat or social leopard;
I don’t regard you as a hapless case.
But be aware there are reaper cushions
when you cut off your nose despite your face.
 
Brian Bilston

Fallon is always helping other people. It’s not hard to care for your own kids - in fact for some it’s a form of egotism (I write as a parent). See Tom and Natasha. I don’t know this person’s work but biological essentialism has not done women many favours historically.

I don’t believe Ian and Lottie do anything else during the school stay than lurk around the sheep gate talking about parent groups & waiting for home time. #TheArchers
