I have had enough of myself at the moment! My right leg is causing me constant pain and restricting my ability to walk. Just walking around the house is painful and almost beyond me right now, let alone trying to even think of going to the gym. It’s alright for my Physio or Doctor –Continue reading “A Baker’s cyst…”

I am so over being in pain…
I wish there was someone I could complain to and get a refund on my body!! Like when you purchase an item from a store and it is faulty. Take that thing back and get your money back! Right now, I’m feeling my body is not fit for purpose. Legs are for walking on surely?Continue reading “I am so over being in pain…”
Just the right thing to say…
I have been going to a Physio for a while for physiotherapy for my knee, which started from a torn meniscus. I had to postpone my appointment recently because I had pneumonia, so we haven’t really seen each other for a while. Anyway, he was asking me a few things about how my knee isContinue reading “Just the right thing to say…”
The long road back to health…
For the last 10 days I have been hit by a virus and then pneumonia and I am still recovering. Needless to say, I have not been able to go to the gym during this time. To be honest, just putting one foot in front of the other and walking from the car to aContinue reading “The long road back to health…”
Please don’t disable me before my time….
I was having lunch the other day with some of my colleagues and I was talking about how my husband caught me climbing on a ladder in the garden. I had looked up while putting some netting on my cherry tree, when I saw him looking through the window in our bedroom. When I wentContinue reading “Please don’t disable me before my time….”

Being alone doesn’t have to = being lonely
Over the years with my husband I have learned that at times he needs to do his own thing and I do mine. Having lived in a very controlling relationship in my second marriage, this is a refreshing change. Now my husband works shift work there are often weekends where I spend a lot ofContinue reading “Being alone doesn’t have to = being lonely”
Feeling so Parkies all of a sudden.,.
It’s a bright late Spring day after two days of weekend rain. My husband and I went into the city today for a walk around. My dodgy knee has been behaving itself and we have been enjoying the fresh air and getting a bit of exercise. As we usually do, we parked in the BotanicalContinue reading “Feeling so Parkies all of a sudden.,.”
Life is about learning… Learning for life!
At each age and stage, we learn new things. As we grow through the stages of life we learn as an individual how we do life. When my daughter had her beautiful twin girls – my first grandchildren – just as she had to learn to be a mother, I had to learn how toContinue reading “Life is about learning… Learning for life!”
Games are not just for children…
I grew up in a family of six. Three sons and one daughter – they kept going till they got it right – and of course Mum and Dad. The typical nuclear family of the time. I remember growing up that we had ‘Annuals’ books that had stories in them, but also used to haveContinue reading “Games are not just for children…”
