Such horror

Such horror!

My daughter arrives home today from o’seas, we spend tonight with my sister then head back tomorrow. My granddaughter has shared her cough with me!! A parting gift.

Absolutely true - having tonight with my sister then heading back tomorrow

Not often I get to post before you in the morning @darthspoog.bsky.social! My last 6 am start before we go back to Adelaide.

Yes a quarter of the year nearly gone. Sometimes in this past few weeks the time seems to have gone slowly for me - it must be the family responsibilities and 6 am starts. Today’s the last one!!!

4.4 at 7pm.

Just heard there was an earthquake near Boorowa Brian. Did you feel it near you?

Finally I’m at my coffee spot in suburban Ashburton after attending to the family’s morning routine

My coffee spot today in suburban Ashburton, Vic. Have a good day

You’re very wise - build a fence to protect. Engage if it feels safe.

Definitely

Here I am on Tuesday - survived the long weekend caring for my daughter’s family. Can’t believe how tired I feel. 4 more sleeps till she’s home. X

You’re a champion Bridie. Some days it’s like climbing Mount Everest. ⭐️

Me too - 45 years now of the journey; meds, support, rational emotive therapy and CBT; thank goodness for understanding GPs, family and friends

Everybody’s experience of depression is different - what works for one doesn’t work for others. Respecting the individual’s right to choose what works for them and giving them space to handle the awful feelings is so important

Understanding hugs

Thank you for your advocacy. It’s hard to find a way to talk about it without stigma being attached.

Hope the sun breaks through Brian

That time has gone so quickly Caz. I hope you can put those retirement plans in place.

Now I’ll just have honey on that as well

Cool mornings in Melbourne - mostly pleasant days. Thank goodness it’s a long weekend coming up - these 6 am starts are a killer!!!

Glad it was worth it.

You’ll be brightening the air waves Brian

Definitely looking forward to my slow mornings.

All my mornings in Melbourne for another 11 days are 6 am starts - even the weekends. Needless to say I am going to bed early in order manage the demands of childminding.

Yes Bridie - having supported my son for many years I bridle at mental illness being used to explain criminal behaviour.
