Yep! The wiring is definitely not there. After my screaming fit yesterday, doesn't he come round and ask if he could come and watch Dragon's Den. Absolutely not. Told him he is totally rude and talks through the programs ... "Just talking about the program." ARghhhh! He was made to promise to be quiet before being allowed to go to a video event at a friend's house. The last time the 3 of us watched TV, R spent the whole time telling him to be quiet. Totally ruined the program. Neither calm explanations or ultimatums nor virtual hysterics have had any effect. He seriously is incapable of comprehension. That is reality.

We have done pretty well in avoiding his presence for a while but it seems to have escalated lately. Back to square one. Strategies to totally avoid. I will not put up with this. AT ALL, ANYMORE. Tomorrow - an email laying down the rules again and kept on file to be repeated as needed.

Lovely trout dinner tonight. Much perusal of raccoon affairs and some other things on FB. Wrote a bunch more possible captions for our video on ---raccoons! Some time spent on looking into music for said video.
