When a member of your family is unwell – it’s not uncommon for the carer to feel overwhelmed by emotions when the doctor or nurse is talking about the health issue and explaining treatment options.
It happens in both human hospitals and even more frequently in veterinary hospitals where the cost of medical procedures doesn’t enjoy the same safety net that Medicare provides for human health care.
Now – there’s a new campaign to educate pet parents about what vets and vet nurses really have to endure on a daily basis which will hopefully help them think twice before criticising their pet’s care-providers.

'Men of Arrows' is a fantasy/fiction book written by first-time author but longtime journalist Nadia Crighton.
Based on her own personal on-going drama in a relationship with 4 kids and uncertainties as to what lay ahead, Nadia describes how she rose from that dark part of her life and created an amazing book that we think should be made into a movie!

On any given day of the week we often hear News reports that a road accident which caused serious injuries or even worse, deaths, was caused by a driver having a ‘medical incident’.
Transport Departments don’t keep official statistics – but it’s thought these ‘medical incidents’ number in the thousands annually which is why one woman who nearly died after being hit by someone feeling a ‘bit fuzzy’… is mounting a campaign to help drivers recognise when they’re a danger to others and how to keep themselves and the rest of us safe.

While many of us have already started the 'big journey' around Australia whether for 6 weeks, 6 months or 6 years & more... some people have already made the move to downsize not only as far as house sizes (& mortgages) are concerned but as a way of making a complete lifestyle change.

Imagine saying to your new boss in a new country… ‘Come downstairs with me - I am horny’!!!.. Yep. That’s what happened to me in Spain.
Yep that and many other experiences from having lived and worked in several countries over the years have in many ways revealed what it’s like to be a ‘stranger in another land’.
