Have you guys cancelled your Friday's these days, as no one seems to post on them lately...

Nope, just being verrry busy with life!

last weekend for instance I've been beachsailing with wind force 6.

I'm helping out at an activity day for autistic kids tomorrow. Should be fun

And? How was it?

[Speelgoedmannetje]

It was awesome! I narrowly escaped being consigned to the messy play area (shaving foam and cornflower in water - I can't bear those textures!)

Cornflower texture, as in the scent? Though messy play areas and autistic kids, does that work?

I spent most of the day helping a load of the kids build a tower of blocks bigger than a guy in a Bob the Builder costume. Construction activities with children normally frustrate me because they don't do it right, but these kids built their tower in a nice regular pattern with matched colours

Ah, the 'clean of mind'

Oops, no I meant cornflour.

Ah I suspected such but I'm never sure as I'm not a native English speaker

I can't bear to touch it in it's liquid form.

I can imagine.

There always seem to be messy play areas available, but my experience so far has been that most autistic kids (and adults) don't like messy play due to sensory aversions. Those people who seek those particular sensations would no doubt enjoy it, but fortunately for me I haven't encountered any yet so I haven't had to join them :lol:

I never liked it because it was chaos.

Or my own autistic tendencies perhaps

that's what I implied

I guess Dutch just can't handle Saab's :S
