• A mental health day

  Posted on Wednesday July 1st, 2009 at 08:52 in family, health, mental health, mum, sixties

  Today I decided I needed a mental health day. It was going to be a reasonably quiet day at work, I had plenty of rec leave up my sleeve and a very understanding boss. A form tomorrow and a sigh of relief. I had a few things to do. I’m making a ...

  I’m very excited to write that my brother’s first born entered the world this morning at 9.08am Melbourne time. My mother has already “done her numbers” and she has the soul urge of an artist. Three. So to celebrate her birt...

• Just saying yes at the moment

  This is a photo of Groover at the top of the overbridge that we walk on during our weekend’s walk.  He nearly always beats me to the top. These days I find it hard to find the time to exercise. Yes I know it’s an excuse. Yes I know that ...

  Christmas happened, and in fact was the most stress-free Christmas dinner that I’ve hosted.  I know! Can you believe it?! What? I don’t look hysterical do I? Oh. Just my hair… The day started with me waking my teenage son so we...
