Building a new life

[Suzi]

Are you pacing with it? Do you guys have the children this week?

[Jaquaia]

J picks them up from school tomorrow afternoon and they're with us until Saturday night. His mum and dad are going to sit with them while he pops to collect me after my driving lesson.

[Suzi]

So are you resting this evening?

[Jaquaia]

Knitting and I have Harry Potter on in the background

[Suzi]

Awesome movie choice

[Jaquaia]

J's never seen them all so need to rectify that!

[Suzi]

How can he not have seen them all? Has he read all the books?

How are you today lovely?

[Jaquaia]

He only really reads railway related books. He has severe dyslexia and always found that he struggled to concentrate with fiction. It's how we lost touch, the uni paid for him to redo his final year as they missed it and he failed so they got him diagnosed and extra things put in place as we should have graduated at the same time.

I'm ok, going to do a little studying before his dad takes me to my mums for my driving lesson

[Suzi]

Ahh, has he tried coloured overlays? They've changed Fern's life....

Hope the driving lesson goes well lovely x

[Jaquaia]

He used to have stuff printed on light blue paper and we've found if I write the shopping list in a rich purple ink, he can read it better. He tends to do ok as he's developed ways of managing it but I notice he struggles with new books with A. If he's not read them before then he stumbles over the words more.

If you never hear from me again, then I'm afraid the monster by the front door has got me! Already seen him try to carry the cat off... seriously though, that spider is fecking ginormous and right next to the front door!!!!
