It is a rather sunny weekend as I've been out catching the sun, jam jars optional .
These days it does seem odd to be listening out for rather important information rather than just waiting on an update but for me the spoken word is the main media for such things more than say television with its heavy use of images.
It doesn't help that this last two and a bit years has been rather like no other in recent memory with continual crisis, restrictions and what not one on top of another and various players in all of this making less than disguised threats to our well being.
You might find yourself emotionally needy, in need of a little tlc and at least a hug as you struggle through all of this.
It isn't always the most apparent thing not least in what is often a stiff upper lip "mustn't grumble" culture and it is true many disabled people do feel pressured to understate how they are feeling apart from how things are affecting them.
Familiar routines from better times can help such as play or reading as strangely enough just helping out so long as whoever does pay attention to any limits because it can help with feeling wanted and included.
It doesn't hurt to enquire.
