Dyspraxic Adults

Haven't posted on here in a while, but thought i'd give an update on how things are going between me and teaching. Well, i finally did it.

i had a very dyspraxic moment the other day. it started when i got on the wrong bus, because i just misread the 79 on the front for 78 (which i should have got on). but it went the same way for most of the journey untill we were nearly at my stop, when theres a roundabout and the road splits into a ...
