She’s the youngest. In her thirties. She went to scoil ide and Salerno, so she’d have been a forerunner of integration. She works now three days in the hospital in records and two over at sheltered working. She’s happy out. She’s reared and looked after by the village as they say (by the county and the country really), but when my parents pass it will be a significant hurdle. I’m sorry your cousin died so young, but it is a worry. Mine swims in the sea about nine months a year and the parents throw her out of the car at the end of the road so she has to walk the mile up to the house. I swam with her out to the first buoy at BlackRock there in the summer and I thought she wasn’t going to make it back, and was feeling a bit sick with worry, but my other sister says she’s always like that.
She’s kind of autistic too. She’ll only sit in the same place for lunch every day apparently, and will stand there with her tray hovering over whichever unfortunate happens to be there and just wait them out. People laugh about it. She also has every NOW album ever, which must be in the hundreds now, but won’t listen to the latest one until she’s listened to them all in sequence from the start again.
She’s the happiest of us all.

Careful now, lads could be withdrawing all their likes and calling her Ruth Dudley Edwards after that.
@flattythehurdler does she get the normal Nows (i.e. Now 100 or whatever it is) or does she also get the Now 1979 and so on? Does she have a ritual around the purchase of them - does she go to the same shop to buy or does she get them online?
I’m not certain tbh. I’ll have to check. My other sister tells me these things. I know she has them all lined up in sequence, mostly CD’s in her room.
Her most traumatic event was neighbours finishing.
She messages me about three times a day. Mostly about her cats.
She’s neither a gem not not a gem. She’s just herself, as selfish and contrary as anyone. If you walk into the telly room and she’s watching telly, the first thing she does is grab both remotes, which always makes me laugh.
She told her social worker wan time that my parents treated her like a slave (she has to empty the dishwasher)

Beautiful. I think we all know such a soul, and I would thoroughly agree, the happiest of us all. My friends sister was never happier than when she was clattering a ladle off a hape of pots. She must have done it for the best part of 30+ years before she passed. You can only imagine the noise, but shur they all put up with it. She passed a few years back. The mother and father didnt last much longer as it turned out. My friend says she never ever thought she’d miss the hammering.
