  1. Bizarrely, I've scored 12 out of 12 in The Undateables's quiz, which apparently makes me a "Relationship Expert".
  2. Handel's Harpsichord Suite in E, HWV 430 ("The Harmonious Blacksmith"), performed by Richard Egarr
  3. I was quite chuffed that I managed to do all my Christmas shopping without using Amazon or any chain stores. If anyone's interested, this is what I used (in addition to the National Railway Museum, already mentioned): Gift shop at the Wales Millennium Centre (dragon) Tusch und Egon (Cabin Porn and ear-rings) Decorum (cushion and candle) The Brokedown Palace (socks) The Sampler (sherry) Les Aldrich Music (diary) Hive via Joseph's Bookstore (This Little Puffin and Run the Jewels 2)
  4. Dubin City University for one: Creating an autism-friendly university
  5. Subsequently I've given: A soft toy dragon Book of railway stories (bought at the National Railway Museum in York) Bottle of Pedro Ximenes sherry Cabin P0rn: Inspiration for your quiet place somewhere, a book of photographs by Zach Klein and Steven Leckart Socks (described as "boot", so fairly thick) This Little Puffin: Finger plays and nursery games, compiled by Elizabeth Matterson
  6. Giovanni Gabrieli (c.1555-1612), O Jesu mi dulcissime à 8
  7. The latest issue of Escape (the on-train magazine of Great Western Railway) is running a competition to win a weekend break at Deerpark. Go to gwr.com/logcabinCornwall before 22 January 2016 and answer the question "In which year was the Forestry Commission formed?" (see here for the answer). Forest Holidays are also offering a 10% discount for bookings up to 31 March 2016: use the code GWRESCAPE at forestholidays.co.uk.
  8. Culture Club, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?
  9. Consortium5, As our sweet Cords with Discords mixed be
  10. Anonymous (1661), Ballo di Mantova / Cecilia, performed by Liuwe Tamminga (harpsichord)
  11. How do you define "eco-wellbeing"? Will you be seeking accreditation?
  12. I wonder how well-established Black Friday is even in the USA. I don't remember it being mentioned in any of Judy Blume's novels from the '70s, for instance.
  13. So far I've given... Boosey & Hawkes 2016 pocket diary Bottle of wine CD - Run the Jewels 2 A cushion Ear-rings Scented candle Still some more present exchanges to come!
  14. Did anyone else here watch 'Back in Time for Dinner' over the summer? That made out the '90s to be a time of plenty (recession, Gulf War, Yugoslavian conflict and dotcom boom/bust notwithstanding). As I recall, the family seemed to enjoy the 70s most, and likewise with the more recent 'Back in Time for Christmas'. Check out some clips here.
  15. JS Bach Sonata no.2 in a minor for solo violin, BWV 1003
  16. For an antidote to the depressing mainstream news, try Positive News - does what it says on the tin. Only downside is that you may find yourself thinking (as I do) "why isn't there more of this kind of cool stuff happening where I live?". I'm also a subscriber to Grist for environmental news.
  17. This sounds quite similar to the OP's business model. “With the proper support team taking care of day-to-day management and administrative duties – accounting, contracts and the like – they can focus on doing what they love and integrate both economically and socially.” Self-employment opens new worlds for autistic people
  18. A Point of View: Why it's time to turn the music off
