Sitting here this morning, up early because I couldn’t sleep. Scrolling through Facebook and came upon a mash up of dance clips of John Travolta from the 70’s. Born in 1961, my teenage years were very much in the 70’s and I remember watching the movies starring John Travolta. He was quite a dancer! IContinue reading “When did I get old?”

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Or, are men just weird creatures?
Tonight, my husband and I did a really good representation of the “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” way of looking at a task. My logic when asking for his help turned out to be way different to what he thought was asked of him. The scenario is this. I was just aboutContinue reading “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

We’re a little bit different – but it works for us!
I know a lot of couples do everything together and that works for them. However, we are not so much like that in our relationship. This is largely due to my husband never having lived with a woman before – talk about trial by fire – but bravely chose to live with me. He stillContinue reading “We’re a little bit different – but it works for us!”
This week, next week, sometime, never!
I have always caused confusion both for myself and my husband and my daughter particularly when it comes to time. The most challenging of all, is trying to get it right when arranging anything to do together. We each have a different concept of what constitutes “this week” or “next week”. Many a time, IContinue reading “This week, next week, sometime, never!”
Ages and stages through the ages…. communication
I was talking today to someone about how things have changed in the world since we were younger. We had ‘landlines’ as they are called now, but to us they were just the phone. They were also attached to the house by a cord. Later cordless phones came out and those of us who wereContinue reading “Ages and stages through the ages…. communication”
Travel while you can and make those memories!
So, we are coming to the end of our eight week holiday in the UK and Europe. We have had a busy, busy time with lots of memories made and recalling of memories from the past with long-standing friends and of course several members of our lovely UK family. A family I was not bornContinue reading “Travel while you can and make those memories!”
Disability or Accessibility?
Lucky me, I started yesterday with a head cold. Isn’t it strange how one night you can go to bed feeling fine and then wake up in the morning sneezing or coughing, or both! So, that’s me. Started yesterday and so don’t like my chances of recording any sort of podcast. There’s enough to contendContinue reading “Disability or Accessibility?”
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)”
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!”
“In the knickers of time…”
A silly little poem, just because sometimes I don’t want my life to be all about Parkinson’s. I offer this poem, that pokes fun at me to show that life doesn’t have to always be serious. I often laugh at myself, cos I am apt to do silly things from time to time. This wasContinue reading ““In the knickers of time…””
