So many interesting, and

Yesterday Monkey and I were talking about talking about neurodivergent people. Today I am booked to deliver a keynote speech to the Black Country PINs group...should I bring Monkey along?

My 5yr old asked me to take him with him on the train in my suitcase. We compromised on me taking his beloved Monkey instead.

Monkey and I travelled a long way today to play talking about neurodivergence bingo. Hurrah for getting a Bingo, even if it did take the best part of an hour!

So funny that yesterday I was wondering about people whose jobs mean they have meetings in glass boxes and today that was my job. How the world turns!

Wonderful start to my first day actually wearing my @parallellifestyle @wearebam #purplesockday socks: listening to Prof Ben Simmons talking about the personhood of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and seeing that the gorgeous sculpture made by someone
