If all goes well, I might get a regular stint with the St Andrew's Autism Centre as a 'baking volunteer' organising baking sessions for the young adult Autistic clients. The first session will be held this Fri - but if my three weeks of volunteer experience at the Tues clay workshops can be relied upon as gauge of client interest, am not particularly hopeful the clients will be very interested in this. Nonetheless, since this will be with another group of clients + they get to eat what they make in class I hope that I will be proved wrong and they will grow to enjoy baking!

On a separate note - D always comments how I frequently get packages through the mail. They are either books or clothes I buy online (which are usually cheaper than what I can get in the stores/ or not available otherwise). With the books - I occasionally get pleasant surprises. Bookdepository.com offers free worldwide shipping (partly why I buy from them) but they usually take so long to ship that by the time to book arrives I'd have forgotten what book I got some 3 weeks ago. And so today's surprise came in the form of tiny beautiful things - which arrived just after I finished Hector And The Search For Happiness, an easy-to-read and relatively enlightening book with little nuggets of wisdom on finding happiness.

Hope this will be another light but thought-provoking read for the weeks ahead. Something for me to turn to when I need a break from doing up my CV...
