I did a podcast yesterday about aging. As in the title, ‘When is old, old?’ The number you have reached chronologically does not necessary reflect your abilities and does not necessarily preclude you from certain activities.

Farewell to my lovely red e-bike…

One of my main priorities post my back operation was to get backContinue reading “Farewell to my lovely red e-bike…”
Some future proofing thoughts
Thinking back to when I first had the first discussion with my husband and moving from a two storey house that we loved to a single storey home.

Just a wee podcast about memories and what they areContinue reading “Memories are marvellous”

Hospital, health and Harrahs – a poem and a Podcast
i wrote this yesterday, inspired by being weighed to get me ready for my operation on Monday. I write a lot of my poetry when I am stressed. Sometimes like today, I can be sitting getting blood taken – hey that’s an idea for a poem – and a poem starts to come to me.Continue reading “Hospital, health and Harrahs – a poem and a Podcast”

More legal stuff – Property Administrator vs Property Manager – What’s the difference – Podcast
I have been fortunate to be able to have another interview with Louise Taylor, Lawyer to talk about another aspect of law protecting those who are vulnerable. She is a very engaging person who has a wealth of knowledge and experience and imparts it with humour and down to earth examples to illustrate points.
