OMG. Technology! Talk about trying to be organised! Tried to get AI to group these photos was a bit of a nightmare. These are some of the things I use to try and organise my life. The pill box is handy as it has separate compartments to keep the meds together in the right place.Continue reading “Getting organised”

Honouring my body…
I was talking to someone early one morning about how, at our age – 60’s and 70’s – we talk a lot about our pain issues, things that are happening to our bodies, the changes in what we are able to do. Then, I had this memory come back to me of a post thatContinue reading “Honouring my body…”
Hidden symptoms…
As I often do, I was reading some posts by others with Parkinson’s and the topic of ‘hidden symptoms’ came up. I know I have spoken about this before, but it is certainly worth a mention and is likely to be a thread woven throughout my story. Often the first time someone might recognise thereContinue reading “Hidden symptoms…”
A bit emotional
I’m writing this post from a Motel room in a beautiful place called Akaroa. We came here yesterday for the night and a bit of a break. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful place on our doorstep. As usual, I have woken in the night and decided to get up and continueContinue reading “A bit emotional”
Time with the Grandies, making memories
We have just come back from Wellington visiting my son, daughter-in-law and their three lovely boys. It was so nice to spend time with them, but my goodness, have they all grown up! They are lovely boys, but as siblings do, there would be the odd little niggle between each other, but that is whatContinue reading “Time with the Grandies, making memories”
What lies hidden?
This week, myself and two of my friends had an unfortunate event occur, where a person became verbally abusive and angry towards us, but more personally with my friend ‘M’. I won’t go into all the ‘ins and outs’ but suffice it to say that the person concerned showed a level of anger and aggressionContinue reading “What lies hidden?”
When did I get old?
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!”
Mulling about honesty
Today has been a particularly grey and cold winter’s day. I have stayed at home today – as my husband has taken my car to work – and it has snowed lightly off and on today. Not a day I would typically want to venture out in the cold and rain. So, what to doContinue reading “Mulling about honesty”
