Last week we were dealing with Mum's fall and her broken hip being replaced. Since then she has been rehabbed but her blood sugars are erratic. On Friday they finally sorted this out and she went back to the Care Home. This week my niece and her boyfriend were working to figure out how she … Continue reading Where to start…

Life is full, when is not?
This week Ashley (13yo, profound multiple disabilities) is away at an adventure camp. It's not a long way away, probably an hour or so, but it's like he's abroad or something. We all miss the little guy SO very much. A large part of this is that his care is a major part of our … Continue reading Life is full, when is not?

Social Media – has the bubble burst?
I have several social media accounts: I Tweet, I Snap, and more. Lately I've tired of the whole thing. It's not the funny cat pictures or the posts that go "I know 90% of my friends won't repost this...." Today it was the little dictators who mediate a local history page. It's all too impersonally … Continue reading Social Media – has the bubble burst?

It's a nomadic existence more akin to a pinball's path than anything. However, it's still a good analogy. Paths merging and parting, life events and foul people … Continue reading Life as a journey

At work, they tell me that my department is pretty damned good - ahead on sales, excellent process and comparable to the bigger stores with a plethora of colleagues. At home they tell me that my budget is balanced … Continue reading Numbers

The app has changed significantly and curiously my site is picking up a half dozen views every day which is just bonkers. Here in the UK we are winding down from the last few years of madness. It’s … Continue reading Back again

Little Leesy
Her first memory was running down the street to the bomb shelter as the sirens whined in the East End of London. Her last, hopefully, was of holding my hand and hearing me sing My Old Man as she drifted peacefully away. Mum’s Dad was old. 54 when he started his third family and a … Continue reading Little Leesy

Intermittent Fasting
Last week I tested positive for Covid and spent a day with flu-like symptoms and three days of Diarrhoea. The positive I gleaned from this misery was that my overall health as I approach 60 is still pretty good. It seemed sensible then to work to maintain this plus. I have dabbled with Intermittent Fasting … Continue reading Intermittent Fasting
