Another silly poem to lighten my mood as I nervously await my surgery on Monday. Feeling a bit stressed, I admit. The Harrah bit is after a term my husband and I use, which is 'the last Harrah'. This is when we are starting a diet the next day and so we might treat ourselves to 'a last Harrah' before we diet!

I hope you enjoy it.

I mistakenly bought a pack of women's full briefs. I had thought I was my normal knickers and got home and found that I had bought knickers like my mother used to wear. I was going to take them back, but I thought I might try them on and they were so comfortable! So, it's official I am wearing Nanna knickers!

Just a silly little poem .

Sometimes you just need a bit of silliness when you are anxious.

I think sometimes when you are trying not to think too deeply about an uncertain future, there is much to be said for looking back with fondness. My cousin and I got together to clear out my wardrobe and we had fun talking about shared memories. Just the thing, when you are trying not to think about an operation in a few days. Shoppertunity - I explain this word and it's origins, but it is a wee bit of fun and don't we all need a bit of fun now and again?

Just a few thoughts and things to do before I have surgery on Monday 3/2. As someone who is very much a planner, I like to know that I have planned as much as I can for my surgery and recovery and any unplanned complications. These thoughts may interest you too and covers some basics like Wills and Enduring Power of Attorney and some other useful stuff.

A brief poem written by me for a change of pace. Because life isn't all about Parkinson's and life is too short not to take time out for the silly things in life.

Welcome back Louise Taylor, Lawyer with some really useful information regarding Property Administration vs Property Manager.

What is the difference?

What are the responsibilities?

Louise Taylor joins us again to talk about 'when EPOA goes wrong'

As ever, this is an engaging interview with a very experienced and down to earth lawyer, who conveys important legal information in an approachable way.

This was a saying in our family growing up. It sounds far less grand than being a legend in your lifetime!

This podcast episode has come about because I have started interviewing people for the podcast series. They have been professional people talking about 'legal stuff' and 'other stuff'.

Then this morning I was thinking about who else it would be good to interview, who people finding this podcast might want to listen to. Then I had a lightbulb moment. Ordinary people! Ordinary people coping with Parkinson's.

I've noticed over the past year or so I have become more of a hugger. As someone who almost never got hugs growing up, this is an interesting thing. I was always a giver of hugs, but mostly to my husband and children and grandchildren. So, here's my thoughts on hugs!

Every now and then, I like to step away from writing and thinking about Parkinson's and write a poem and share it. This poem was inspired by a chat to my cousin Kat.
