So, it was the best of times and the worst of times. Last week, the last month of winter rolled in. Bringing with it not only Dickens’s quote, but our annual family skiing holiday. For 5 days my lover and I saw each other, our smalls and ourselves in the brightest and sometimes harshest of …
So, I washed my car on Wednesday. This is not a regular occurrence. I’m not really a car person. And when it comes to the 3 thousand tasks to be covered in an average day of my vibrant and full life – washing my car is just not one of them. This is a step …
So, there are runners. And there are people who run. Just like there are cooks, and people who cook. Dancers and people who dance. Footy players and people who play football. There are people who do things effortlessly. As if an embodied gift, straight from Divine. And then there are people who do things, well, …
So, our neighbours have a small dog. It’s a nice dog. An inside dog. So we don’t really see it that much. Kinda like it’s owners – our neighbours. They’re nice. Mostly inside. When they’re home. They’re considerably younger than us. Meaning with their youth and their DINK lives, they go out a lot. Giving …
So, I remember where I was when I heard big news. Big news is tabloid news. Means more people are interested and more people affected. I was under a dusty bridge in Iran when a local cried to me that Princess Diana was dead. I was in my Brunswick lounge room when my father-in-law called …
So, yesterday I made friends with my asana nemesis. It really came out of the blue. Wasn’t part of my “to do list” plan. I suppose it can be like that when you roll out the mat. Sometimes you do so with clarity. Inherently knowing the direction you will or need to go. But sometimes, …
So, I test drove a vacuum cleaner on Wednesday. An odd test, yes. Especially when the lass asking if I would like to partake in the said test is all of 19. With her perfect long bleached hair and manicured false nails, I wondered if she’d ever owned a vacuum cleaner in her life. Let …
So, I planned our day yesterday around the low tide and the cool change. You see, things around here need more planning in January. You can’t turn R out of our street around midday. The IGA is to be avoided at all meal and snack times. Get your stuff done in Grove before 10:00 in …
So, some things are black and white. While other things are grey. The black and white stuff are the tangible things. Like the sun setting and the moon rising. The arm bone connecting to the shoulder bone. The wind blows and the waves are formed. Left brain. Rational. Real. Then there’s the shades of grey. …
So, I had to stand in front of my peers and present an inservice this week. Rather than a complex orthopaedic case, or an unusual health journey, I was asked to present on language. On how we, as clinicians, communicate information to our patients. And the processes that occur to allow for our patients to …
