Yesterday saw me in lower sydenham with Luke, sally and Les. Luke had had a somewhat traumatic experience a few days ago, so I went over to see f I could cheer him up. While it would not be appropriate for me to go into detail here, by Sally’s description what her son went through was pretty damn horrific – disablist abuse in the highest form. I just went over to see if I could help.

It was a pretty cool afternoon and evening. I got there too early, but apart from that, we had a lot of fun. Sally wants Luke to be more independent, and seems to think – somewhat bizarrely – that I could be an excellent rolemodel. If I can help of course I will. Yesterday, though, was more about fun, and I’m pleased to report we spent a merry couple of hours in the Railway Tavern, talking, drinking, and watching Turkish Football.
