Some nice news. The Eldest just got their final mark from university and they got a first class degree.

This actually hit me and Mrs B more than I was expecting. Naturally we're proud and delighted for them, but having to help a (largely undiagnosed) Autistic person through the British state education system has been a battle to say the very least.

For them to be able to get the highest possible grade at postgraduate level after everything they have been through over the last 16 years is incredible.

The sensation we as parents have right now is almost like finally letting a trauma go. So much heartache now behind us. What at times, during darker days, seemed impossible, today is a reality.

OK, feel free to mute this if it's not your thing - I don't want to bombard passers-by!

Since the COVID thing, I've had huge issues with lethargy. One school of advice from friends is 'get out and move about more during daylight', and another from the people with CFS is generally, 'exercise will tend to make this worse'.

I'm guessing I'm just going to have to 'suck it and see', yes?

If the weather calms the fuck down tomorrow, I may try a short walk round the Harbourside, and see how I get on. I suppose if that goes well or horribly wrong, I'll have an answer!
