All is going well … and ‘should’isms’

Yesterday I posted about my nervousness at meeting up with family. As predicted, I did have a bit of trouble keeping in the conversations due to a bit of a lag in my processing. Not a biggee and I don’t think it was overly noticeable. It was lovely to catch up and hear what hasContinue reading “All is going well … and ‘should’isms’”

And so it begins… meeting, greeting and eating!

Well, the quiet times we have had while we settled in and got over jetlag are about to end. Today we drive to go and see our niece and nephew and their families. We haven’t seen them for three years and one has had a child since and others look so grown up from photosContinue reading “And so it begins… meeting, greeting and eating!”

Travelling and unravelling?

This is the first week of travelling to the UK for our first trip here in three years. I am noticing some changes to how I feel and function since the previous trip. While relatively minor, they still need to be acknowledged and worked through as best I can. It has been nearly six yearsContinue reading “Travelling and unravelling?”

A portrayal of Parkinson’s

We are currently at the beginning of our trip to the UK, having checked into a Hotel in Singapore. To while away the time, I have watched various series on the plane, one of which was called “Shrinking” alluding to – it appears – to the main characters working as “Shrinks” or Psychologists. I wasContinue reading “A portrayal of Parkinson’s”

Travelling…

It is Tuesday today and in three days time, 1/5/26 we will be jetting off on our UK and Europe adventures. We have been over maybe three or four times to see relatives and friends and also to have some adventures just the two of us. We have to space out our trips and usuallyContinue reading “Travelling…”

The Aftermath…

Those of you who follow me, may have seen a post about my accident in my car on Tuesday last week. A brief summary if you have not. I was out with my husband doing some errands and out for a coffee, when driving down the main street, I spied an empty Disability Parking space.Continue reading “The Aftermath…”

Feeling Vulnerable

The last couple of days have not been the best. Yesterday, my husband and I were out and about together and just going to do a couple of errands and then on for coffee. I have a Mobility Parking Permit, which allows me to access Mobility Parking spots available. Today I was driving down theContinue reading “Feeling Vulnerable”

To know me read my blog… (A message to my family)

Hi. This is a message to my family and also perhaps to yours. Obviously, not everyone has a blog, but perhaps you have recorded your thoughts and feelings in another way. I know after my Mum passed away and probably quite some time later I found I had a box which contained her diaries fromContinue reading “To know me read my blog… (A message to my family)”

World Parkinson’s Day…

Here I am sitting at my desk, scrolling through Facebook and doing my brain games online. Just an ordinary morning, in an ordinary life. A life that unexpectedly nearly six years ago, changed forever. Reading the words that someone put together about how Parkinson’s is to them. Most of which I identified with. Words aboutContinue reading “World Parkinson’s Day…”

Repurposing and finding purpose

The photos are of a couple of things that I have repurposed in my garden. Sure, they will rust or decay at some point, but in the meantime, they are a quirky and unique thing in my garden. Rather like the quirky and unique me, that repurposed them to be something that makes me smileContinue reading “Repurposing and finding purpose”
