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)”

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”
An interview with Sandra No.2
I have just recorded my second interview with Sandra and once more it was inspirational. There were funny moments where we laughed at ourselves – which I often do – and slightly more somber moments where we talked about some of the challenges we face with Parkinson’s. She is wonderful to listen to and toContinue reading “An interview with Sandra No.2”
Famous people with Parkinson’s…
There are many well-known people with Parkinson’s out there in the world. It chooses the special ones, I say. There are those who have risen to fame in other spheres where they are known as actors, singers or other claims to fame. When you hear the name Michael J Fox, is it Parkinson’s that mostContinue reading “Famous people with Parkinson’s…”
Oh knickers!
(a silly thing happened the other day!)I wrote this poem the other day. Well, I started to write it, couldn’t find it when I went back to try to find it and finish it and then gave up and wrote the other poem you may have seen. As I did find the original – thisContinue reading “Oh knickers!”
