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”
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)”
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!”
