In 2018, when my marriage ended after nearly 25 years, I was thrown into the family law court system.
I was pretty naive at that point in time because I thought that the court system would look after me and do the right thing, and it didn’t.
And I fell through the cracks.

If you love reading to kids then you’ll love Story Dogs!
It’s a literacy support program mostly aimed at year two children to help them read better. Basically an accredited volunteer and their dog go into a school each week at the same time and the school chooses four children who have reading difficulties for whatever reason.

The pianist was phenomenal and he looked like he was enjoying himself so much; his energy really matched Stevens!!
- I’d also like to mention how he gave acknowledgement and gave respect before starting the show.

Have you ever had that one place you like to go to often that just ‘sings’ to you? A special place that perhaps brings back memories of younger days when life was so happy?
I grew up in Brinsmead – a suburb of Cairns in FNQ and as a kid, often used to walk across to Freshwater Creek that ran through the Coolwaters Caravan Park.
For me it's a very special place. I still absolutely love it because it brings peace to my heart.

Too busy eh? Hmmm… Ever had someone say that to you? Maybe you’ve said it yourself!
I guess at some stage we all have, but what is it that makes us ‘soooo damned busy?’
Is all that we are trying to do on a daily basis really THAT important?

Jacqui and I were married in 1959, and within three months of the wedding we boarded the RMS ‘Rangitoto’, at Prince Albert Dock in London, headed for a new life in New Zealand.
Neither of us had had a greater sea voyage than the ferry from Southampton to the Channel Islands before, so we were pretty excited as we stepped onto the gangplank that eventful day, leading to what was to be our home for the next five weeks.

When I was young, about sixty years ago, and before I married Jacqui, I owned a little 1925 Morris “Sports” car, (Jacqui swears she fell for the car, long before she fell for me).
It was classified as a sports car because it had a cloth hood and no side-screens at all, it was open at the sides to all weather, good or bad,

My grandmother was a lemon sucker from way back. Blunt was her delivery and cutting were her words. Not indulging my emotions, she’d tell me to put my bottom lip away, to stop sulking and to be grateful.
She said words like nonsense and rubbish and codswallop. If she were a plant, she would be a cactus. With spikes and prickles, she kept you at bay.

Electric cars now appear to be here to stay. Sales are beginning to grow at quite a reasonable rate and the Government is promising to make “refill stations” all over the place, so it will be a little more like filling up with petrol or diesel, and they are undoubtedly quieter and less inclined to throw a lot of CO2 and other rubbishy by-products of combustion around the place.
And that is all, undoubtedly good, for the atmosphere, for global warming and, by no means least, for the manufacturers of all the necessary infrastructure, needed to make it all work, including the vehicles themselves.

First up, my wife of more years than I'm allowed to mention here came up with the title of this blog. Thank you darling 
And that was because I mentioned to her the other day that I’d had a dream about all the things women have to go through - things they have to ‘endure’ - throughout their lives.
And we men… hey I include myself here!, are totally oblivious to it. Totally!

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past few years thinking about, and reading about this global warming thing, and putting together some of the many snippets I have found, I’ve come up with what I believe, in my little mind, is the logical answer to the problem, and it doesn’t owe a lot to carbon dioxide.
We have been told by experts that the earth is, at the present time exiting an ice-age – one of many that have happened over the millennia, and we are now in an era of warming.
