When I was GP practice manager, one day a patient dropped off a small parcel wrapped in nice paper addressed to one of the Drs. I assumed it was a slice of her birthday cake - some patients did that - and left it on the GP's desk. Turned out to be a stool sample.

I'm diagnosed neurodiverse and hate the numbers between 3 and 5, 6 and 8 and 10 and 12. Once you get to 18 you are pretty much safe.

Some do, some don't. I'm an archaeologist and can't understand the obsession with Stonehenge. There are far more interesting and atmospheric sites.

I'm a diagnosed autistic person and that is very good. My partner gets it but not all our friends and relatives do! I don't have a problem with clothing touching me - I prefer to wear things like heavy jackets as they prevent people touching me!
