A couple of years ago, when I posted up about one of our nephews in Nairobi having autism, I was slammed by another member here for using the term autism, the member took offence. My nephew is a lovely chap who lives with us, he is 23 and suffers from severe epilepsy and incontinence, he has no speech and is sometimes violent with lashing out biting anyone close. We provide care for him 24 hours a day with live in carers. When possible we take him out on safari as he loves to see the animals and he goes to a stables with one of the carers as he likes to ride on a horse. I hope you won’t be offended for my reference to autism. We helped him to do a correspondence course for O’levels and he achieved passes in English language. We don’t know what the future holds for him but he is loved for who he is. |

To change the heater matrix in our 4x4 is also the same process, but using second hand OEM part not 3rd party and the dashboard has to come out for access, an all day job or 2 days, one of those piddling jobs no one likes doing. |

Exactly, You'd have to be a contortionist to get some of that dashboard fixings out in the footwells, Well past what I can do these days.

Just been and collected the Bear. Shall not be using that garage again. Only went there as they were honest and up front on the Smart car repairs. Obviously they were totally out of the water with the V8, seeing it was the first time they had seen one.
4 jobs to do and they got three of them done, eventually. So I’ll have to ask Matt to do the 4th job. Still at least she is home.

Been out of my comfort zone as well, putting up the bleedin' christmas lights at the front. I'm not good with ladders now, my sense of balance is off. At one point I had one foot on the ladder and the other on the wall, kept feeling as if I was going to take a header off the wall.

Evening all, dog walked, the replacement wallpaper given two coats of emulsion, while the paint was out I gave a couple of the bathroom walls another coat.
Now sat down with a Guinness, fire on, and watching TV.
