We Watched from the Shore

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 05 Feb 2024

Sleeping in your car at this

Posted on Sat, 24 Feb 2024

Sleeping in your car at this time of year must be freezing and damp too. I used to give money to homeless but someone said it goes straight into the hands of criminal gangs so I stopped. If only the problem was improving. Our government can't/don...

Posted on Thu, 22 Feb 2024

This made me smile, Luigi. A metalwork coarse was the closest I've come to alchemy. Vinegar and cod liver oil sound like a remedy for modern ailments.

I hope something can be done

Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024

I hope something can be done to minimise this lady's suffering. You're correct about dogs; when my dog reached the end I was very careful to detach myself emotionally so that his suffering was minimal. I'm with you on TKMaxx, I'm not near one...

Very powerful as others have said. The idea of violence perhaps a more uplifting and empowering respite from the grief, especially since your daughter's death was avoidable. I can imagine the twists and turns of anger being straightened,...

I've had a few of those

Posted on Tue, 13 Feb 2024

I've had a few of those nights this winter. Hot water bottles, thermal tops, a cat behind my legs that doesn't want to move. You can't beat a hot water bottle, even the smell of them makes me feel warmer. As children we called them 'hottlepottles...

I try to keep the boiler on

Posted on Mon, 12 Feb 2024

I try to keep the boiler on side, Di, I flatter it with compliments. My mum has one of those ancient boilers which never breaks, although she's been told it will be condemned. The bathroom is where the brain is, I like that idea. I leave it there...

It's really interesting to

Posted on Mon, 12 Feb 2024

It's really interesting to hear these accounts from people who have inside experiences. It sounds like your son is settled in his new career and can call upon his broad experience of travelling and teaching.

What a difficult situation.

What a difficult situation. You can only do what is humanly possible and thankfully there are suitable facilities for people who need more intense and complex care than loved ones can themselves provide. What a lovely photograph of her. She is...
