Parents of Children with ADHD

A free social group for single parents looking to connect, and for children aged 7 to 12, to build friendships through play. We plan to meet at least twice a month, but it might become more. Feel free to bring sports equipment, games, or your child's favourite activities so the children can have fun together and everyone can join in. We will meet in Clissold Park, by the cafe.

Hi, in this workshop, we will learn to prepare proper thin French crêpes and we'll see various ways to serve them. We will prepare , if we want to, a nice cheesy béchamel and other toppings such as lemon and sugar, and Nutella. We will then go and taste them in the dining room or upstairs while admiring the view. The event is free in itself, but I will charge for the ingredients. It should not exceed £10/ person. Please note, the event will only run if there are at least 3 people coming, and I will send you a payment link to be paid before attending. We will cook together (in French of course) in our beautiful 56th floor kitchen, and then we will share and chitchat together in French and you can take some home if there are any left! You are welcome to bring a drink if you like, we have glasses and everything necessary. For extra fun, you could bring an ingredient you'd like in your crêpe!!

*** Walthamstow Family Bike Club (http://walthamstowfamilybikeclub.wordpress.com/): 2nd Sunday of each month at 1pm all year round for a sociable ride starting from junction of Orford Road/Church Lane Walthamstow E17. Finish by 5pm latest. The start point is only about 0.8 mile from Walthamstow Queens Road Station on the Barking and Gospel Oak Line. This link shows the route each way, according to Google (http://goo.gl/maps/MlUr9). Also miscellaneous rides - see their website. WFBC writes: "Our aim is for an enjoyable afternoon exploring the nooks and crannies in and around our borough. This event is free. The maximum distance we do is 15 miles there and back, but will be tailored to the abilities of those who turn up, so can be considerably shorter. We usually stop along the way for a snack, so apart from a bicycle and any children you can round up, we recommend you also bring some water and something to eat. We also aim to stop off at a cafe at about half time. In the winter months, do remember your lights."

This is a calm, low-pressure morning walk in Greenwich Park. The idea is simple: we walk together, take things at an easy pace, and enjoy being outside. There’s no pressure to talk — you’re welcome to walk quietly or chat if you feel like it. This is not therapy and there’s no agenda. Just a safe, friendly space to start the day gently and connect with others. We’ll walk for about an hour and finish back near the starting point. Everyone is welcome.

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!
