A little heap of small stones tumbling out of a bag. Writing on one of them is visible and reads, paint or draw.

Adding to the Pile of Good Things: the Brain Frog

An instant porridge pot with a spoon on top. White text underneath reads, Using instant porridge pots allows me to eat a hot breakfast, something that makes a significant difference to my energy levels, and to make it myself.

A grey stone rests on fabric with a floral pattern. There is purple writing on the stone which reads, to live is to be vulnerable.

What are These Boundary Things and How do I get One?

The background is cream coloured and the font an old-fashioned typewriter looking font. The text reads, hey Mum, I’m feeling really lonely and if you have a minute in the next day or two would you mind popping into my room so we can have a chat? The edges of the text have been cut off.

Why Can’t I Just Ask For Stuff?

A stairlift is at the top of some stairs; you can see the rail going down to the bottom. The arms of the stairlift are raised, as are the footplate and the front half of the seat. The seat and back are a particularly revolting yellowish-brown colour, and the rest is a pale grey.
