Just gathering my wits at the moment to make a blog post. I managed to get through 2012 with a few wobbles in the middle surrounding mis-haps in the arts and the inability to intervene in the fate of a beautiful cat. Around Christmas things were better than the previous year due to a winContinue reading “What will keep me going in 2013?”

Book Banquet 2012
Books I’ve read in 2012 from Scandinavian thrillers to rants on the political economy of health.
A simple glass of water
Only too well I know how distractible I am when my mood is not topnotch. To illustrate, let me tell you the saga of my attempt to get a glass of water to wash down my lunch of almonds and fresh fruit. 1. Into the kitchen I go. The devil kitty (Ms Moustiers Ste Marie,Continue reading “A simple glass of water”
Folding towels sucks
A fraction of a day in the life of a new arthritis victim.
Disaster – OMG!
Yep- that “little” thing that sends the whole day to hell, is one of my most destructive habits! My therapist & I call this “disaster-ising” and I really have to keep trying hard to stamp it out.

My excuse
OK- I haven’t kept up with NaBloPoMo this month, in spite of my ambitions. Life threw me a bit of a curler. Two people I knew happened to die on the anniversary of my mum’s death and I got all discombobulated. One person died peacefully in his sleep after many years of heart problems, plusContinue reading “My excuse”
Cutting the rave short to post!

I am a little worried about progress on mental health care, but not convinced that the government can force much privatisation on the populace. First, several Tweeps wereContinue reading “Cutting the rave short to post!”
Touch of the Henries
[This post is also Day1 for NaBloPoMo] No this is not about unwanted sexual touching in the workplace. Nor is it about the Annual Henry Mancini Musical Theatre Awards; nor the greeting card industry’s awards; nor even the standard unit of electrical inductance! It’s about motivation. *”A touch of the Henries” = ennui. Haven’t youContinue reading “Touch of the Henries”
Up & Down Like the Assyrian Empire!
