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!”

What is normal …. revisited

I have titled this “What is normal – revisited” because I have touched on this subject before. But, I felt it worth another look. So, what is normal for one person may not be normal for another. In truth, what was normal for each of us, may not be the same normal tomorrow, the nextContinue reading “What is normal …. revisited”

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”

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)”

What is a friend?

All my life I have not had a great many friends. For many reasons this has always been an unchanging facet of my life. I am not saying this for sympathy at all, in fact I have known people with lots of friends and they have had difficulty keeping them all happy. The more friendsContinue reading “What is a friend?”

The embarrassing stuff…

Last night I was looking at a Facebook Page that I follow relating to Parkinson’s. It has been a source of many topics over the years when writing my blog and subsequently in doing my podcasts. I found a post by a woman called Donna Parkhurst, who has Parkinson’s and also has a podcast comingContinue reading “The embarrassing stuff…”

Impulse control and internet shopping – A confession!

I have always enjoyed shopping whether it be for clothes, perfume, new or used I like them all. I like to potter around in junky little second hand shops and op shops and all the usual shopping haunts. When I have been immobilized by my recovery from my operations and couldn’t get to shops, IContinue reading “Impulse control and internet shopping – A confession!”

Parent to child – Child to parent. When does it change?

It’s funny I think when we look back on our previous lives and sometimes we remember events quite differently than when we were amongst it. Bear with me, as I try to explain. When I have reminisced with my children – now very much adults, my youngest turning 40 at the end of the yearContinue reading “Parent to child – Child to parent. When does it change?”

“So you’ve got Parkinson’s” – some thoughts and a poem

So you’ve got Parkinson’s. Does that mean that everything else in your life must take a back seat and let this beast of a condition take over? No way, I say! Parkinson’s is like the freebee you get with something you wanted to buy. You take it, cos maybe you feel you ought to, butContinue reading ““So you’ve got Parkinson’s” – some thoughts and a poem”
