This is probably the longest that I have gone without posting something since not sure when!  Just back from a week in the UK and Ireland for college 30th anniversary of graduation from Trinity College, Dublin.  A night with my Dad first, then 2 nights in Dublin and then 2 nights in Belfast seeing friends and family.  Back home today and we move house tomorrow, so no time to chat.

Anne took Joey back to Dr W yesterday.  2 hr session.  On the way back, Joey was leaning out the window shouting 'I love the world'.  he was in great form all day and last night, as Anne was putting him to bed, he told her how happy he was and how much he loved his bed, his family, his life etc.

Wow!

Anne took Joey to see a visiting doctor recommended by his old teacher.  A bit hippy dippy, all about lines of energy and feeling the love, allied to a massages designed to relax the muscles, which allow a freer flow of blood to the brain thus solving all the world's problems.  Or at least helping Joey.  Not sure but we are willing to give it a lash.  Can't do any harm.

I also went for a talk at the Princeton Learning Cooperative yesterday evening.  V interesting.  Place where kids go when they don't want to go to main stream high school.  Main message re Joey was relax, let the deschool and then design a curriculum that will focus on his passions.  So that is what we will do. 

Izzy played with Grace this afternoon and now is playing with Jesse.  Joey played with Chris and jack and is now playing with Aaron.  All kids from this street, or the next street.  Nothing arranged.  No playdates.  The kids just turn up.  This will be a big loss. 

I am questioning the value of the blog.  I just don't seem to have the time/energy to write anything at all interesting!  Why is this?  It is certainly true that having Joey at home does take up a good deal of time and energy.  And my new business keeps me busy.  I believe that I am starting to get traction with North American Power, starting to understand it better and to see the real potential.  Big day today as one of the big not for profits that we are working on has an executive committee meeting to discuss this. If they say yes, and I think they will, then that will be a big step forward.

We are moving stuff over to the house and plan to make the actual move when I come back from Ireland - heading over for the 30th anniversary celebration of our graduation.   But really don't want to leave the Boro!  I like walking to the café, shops, pub.  They are nice people here.  Went to the D & R Ball on Saturday.  We actually KNOW lots of people here.  Compare that to the number we knew after 2 years in Oxshott.
