So, you’ve probably realised, I’m a bit shit at blogging. I think it’s because there’s something a little bit narcissistic about it in my head… why should I think that anybody cares at all about anything I’ve got to say? And so I put off writing anything. Well for the third time in my life […]
So in my head I have that song from the 90s, “Return of the Mac” as I write this…. except that noone knew I’d be back as noone probably knew I went away. Well I have been away for almost 18months. The reasons for this are varied. I’ve launched an arts organisation, run 2 big […]
I did write a big post here but somehow I managed to delete without realising; publish it and then realise so I could not press undo….. don’t you hate it when that happens?! Anyhow the Faces of Caring exhibition is a photographic exhibition curated by the lovely Katherine Sparks of netbuddy, a free community where […]
Yes from the title you’ve probably guessed that I am feeling a little on the edge. My dear, sweet lovely children are in fact, driving me loco. This morning we had the OT and Moo was about as uncooperative as he could possibly be. He refrained from answering most questions, much preferring to offer a […]
So being the sick but busy person that I am, it is only now, a week after the Wickham festival that I have got a chance to post about it. Luckily for us we live very close to Wickham and so what with illness, lots of animals and 2 children (one of whom is autistic), […]
No don’t worry that’s not some kind of sensationalist headline. No it is my son’s latest worry. When I say worry that’s putting it rather mildly. He has managed to convince himself that some stones are about to crash into planet earth and we are going to then crash into the moon. I don’t […]
As I’m sure you are aware I have been working very hard lately on trying to start a charity to help children who have developmental disabilities access the arts in a more useful and interactive way. If you are interested in finding out more then please have a look at the website Artsable.org As part […]
Life with a child on the spectrum is never dull. My son is now obsessed by kissing. When I say obsessed I mean it and it is doing my head in!It all started a couple of weeks ago. He is obsessed with Cinderella and Princesses, no don’t laugh, he is. The big draw for […]
“What an odd blog title” I may hear you say. Well not really when you understand the context. No, I’m not really some misanthropic person who wants to end all do-gooding. On the contrary I am setting up a charity due to my son’s disability. It occurred to me after going to a Gateway […]
So I have been a bit quiet again of late. This is because as well as feeling very poorly, I have also been mega-busy. I finally have a new portfolio (not finished yet) up and running. You can find it here: badhofbauer.com I’ve joined a local co-operative and this morning I created an online membership […]
