Part 60: Quantum Foaming
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. Thank you for coming. It's Sunday morning, and I'm typing this blog on my phone, intending to upload on mobile data, because I currently have no WiFi.

Part 56: Lost Property
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. Thanks for coming. I hope you're all as well as you can be. This is probably going to be a bit of a shorter blog post than normal.

Part 50: Getting Away With It
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. How's it going? I've just started a sixteen-day weekend, with some well-earned annual leave from the office.

Part 49: Through Spectrum Tinted Spectacles
Oh, hello! I didn't expect to see you here. What's that you say? You have an appointment? Oh, shit, I remember, now.

Part 47: Opinion ≠ Experience
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. How are you all doing? I'm managing to type with two hands, although still in some pain with my shoulder. I did get my pain-killing injection though!

Part 10: Abuse
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. It's Halloween; an event that has never particularly interested or inspired me.
