Good Morning to you all, dear friends. May your day be truly wonderful as intended - reflecting Love itself; bringing you harmony and - where possible - joy and peace in all that you do. ❤️

The aftermath - Oh the aftermath of a visit from one's personal typhoon (aka daughter Rachel) who is now back in Paris! I have tubs, HUGE tubs of memorabilia and bric a brac - each with very clear directions to sort! (or else!) 🤣 Not being one to be easily burdened, I decided...

Off to enjoy a walk now that that wily old Sun has finally decided to show us his warm side. As a child, I used to wonder what on earth he was doing when he disappeared behind a cloud. Now older and wiser, I know - but he has sworn me to secrecy! 🤣

One of my Granddaughters is celebrating her 10th birthday today! She's very excited and no wonder - it's such a very proud milestone. I can distinctly remember walking to school on my 10th and feeling so grown up - not sure what happened to that in the ensuing 76yrs. 🤣 ❤️

How I love my early Sunday walk - where not one footprint on the sand leaves a mark of any disharmony. Where even within the tiniest being, whose true beauty cannot be seen by the naked eye - holds within it a billion years of knowledge for us to find. Have a lovely day! ❤️

Happy Saturday all - it's been over a week since Parisian daughter departed - leaving behind one very grateful mother for - if for no other reason - having everything in place, drawer-liners included, and dare I mention, Aged Care! Have a wonderful week-end! ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Humblest apologies! HAD thought I'd update you regularly on Parisian daughter's efforts to make my small abode a bit more - well, safe and accessible; what I did not anticipate was finding her ironing my drawer liners at 3am! Time's flown out the door along with the cobwebs!🤣❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

My silence isn't indicative of how happy I am, nor can it express how I feel; so here I am, sharing! Rachel's not stopped since she arrived, lovingly transforming my little home into a perfectly serene, accessible and creative space where I can truly - be me! Oh the joy of it! ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

My Goodness! We've moved on from Aged Care and now my Living Room, Bedroom, Library and Kitchen are under seige! 🤣 Rachel has an amazing eye for where things are hopelessly misplaced or inefficient for her elderly Mum and suddenly I'm surrounded by fascinating new spaces. So happy & excited. ❤️ #Joy

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Good Morning! We're still on Aged Care - never mind the de-cluttering, clothing alterations, sorting, shopping, reminiscing and boundless walks waiting in the wings! Rachel's determined that I shall reach the age of 103 yrs - effortlessly!😂

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Her name is Rachel. She is still asleep but yesterday she achieved a miracle. She made sense of my Aged Care file and the My Gov msgs! 😂 We have laughed and shed tears over all your wonderful msgs - sharing my joy has given me so much pleasure, dear friends. I see you all. Thank you! ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

It is everything that I knew it would be. Oh the joy to see her! We clung together as though our very lives depended on the love we have for each other - and of course - it does! I'm sharing this because I know you care - and that means the world to me, Thank you! ❤️

It is indeed Maggie - thank you! ❤️

There's no word in any language that could get close to how I feel at the moment! In just a few hours, a plane with my eldest onboard will land at Melbourne Airport from Paris. It's been a couple of yrs since we've seen each other... but she's managed a 6weeks holiday. Oh my! I must not cry! ❤️

Old age! Old woman: "My right leg keeps hurtin'." Old man: "That's nothin' but old age!" Old woman: "No it ain't." Old man: "It IS. I tell you - just old age." Old woman: "I know it ain't." Old man: "How?" Old woman: "Because my other leg's just as old and it ain't hurtin'. 😂 ❤️

About to escape to the wilds of Aldi - where toothbrushes sit sedately but not inappropriately besides men's PJs! 🤣

@sallyabl3.bsky.social Hi Sal! My pair of mapies - Henri and Henrietta have been bringing their fledglings to me to be introduced for more than 10 yrs now. HUGE, wonderful part of my life! ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Good Morning! How can it be otherwise? ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

If your day is not seeing you as it should... maybe turn around a little and face it! Your smile can conquer anything. ❤️

Good Sunday Morning All! Who watched AO Opening Celebration last night - or maybe attended? Such joy and exuberance - and yes, humility. The greater the being, the greater is the humble soul evident - in this case in music and sport. Loved every minute of it! Well done AO!

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Here's my hope for you all today: that you realise how very special you are in the general scheme of things called my heart. How do I know? Because of what you say to me and that reinforces what I know to be true anyway. Have the most wonderful day! 😊❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Thank you so much for your beautifully welcoming msgs. So grateful! It's been quite overwhelming but I shall try to be a bit more vocal in the next few days. Sending love to you all. ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Dear friends - I hope you'll forgive my rather sudden disappearance from your screens. It wasn't pre-meditated, I just realised I needed to take some time out - not to 'find myself' I assure you 🤣 but to appreciate my blessings! Hope this finds you all happy and well as am I.❤️

GoodThursdayMorningAll Unlike my mood...the sky's blue where I am... yet making all look bright and happy! Such is the contradiction in our language! Off for beach walk where contradiction comes only from gulls who peacefully mill around then suddenly fight over a potato chip. Bit like humans! 🤣 ❤️

Two little strawberries in my garden went to an Underground FancyDressBall last night; had a whale of a time they told me...being a rabbit and a hedgehog!

GoodMondayNightAll Think my tame but wild Magpie Henri understands my routine's changed. No longer waits on the corner for me to return home. And today, he walked with me (well hopped and flew then waited till I caught up) and we made a sandcastle on the beach. #beakdigger 🤣 ♥️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

When one's motivated to do something thrice weekly for 6 months...then suddenly can't, because of principle...alternatives pop up; joyful things like feeding plants, animals and the lowly wormfarm occupants; birdwatching, writing letters to loved ones & creating silly poems! 🤣♥️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

How different can it be? How different can it get? No swimming So I went for walk And still got thoroughly wet! 🤣 #VicWeather

Now that's true... I'll give you that, dear Dorothy! 🤣❤️

GoodSaturdayMorningAll Can't thank you all enough for your kind words over my swimming/drama class setback. Disappointment is a pointless weight to carry around; so I've rallied, forgiven and am ready to try to do something of value somewhere, somehow. Have a beautiful day! ♥️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Gutted today but integrity comes first. My offer out of gratitude of weekly drama class (accepted by enthusiastic residents in Aged Care above complex pool I attend) has been reduced - no discussion, to one half hr class per month. No managerial support so have resigned from my swimming dream. 😢

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Have just returned from 1st practice session after 1st swimming lesson Friday! Oh my! Beyond cruel that I have to think of TWO things AT THE SAME TIME! Yikes! If I'm going to kick with head in the water I also have to breathe - who knew? Maybe aim for the Masters when 100! 🤣🤣🤣

10743

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Jumed into water at a ridiculous hr and did all I thought was preparation for 1st lesson with new Instructor. Then had to undo most of it.🤣 Lesson was wonderful. Grateful for spending last 5 months strengthening limbs. She really believes this previous floppy rag doll will be able to swim. Yay! 😊

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

GoodnightAll Back in the swim of things tomorrow. Serious bizness ahead with new coach bravely preparing to give me Lesson1 on Friday! Hear she's taken out an Insurance Policy - for herself, not me! 🤣 Sleep heartily. ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

ME: How many steps at Royal Melbourne Show, Mr Pedometer? P: 11 ME: Ridiculous, I walked all day! P: Ya didn't give me time to say "Thousand" ME: Well lift your game! P. Lift ya feet, you sat down 3 times, could've done 12,000 ME: No I couldn't P. Pfft! ME: Not wearing you today!

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Given that I was picked up at 8:30am and have just now been dropped home from my day with family at the Royal Melbourne Show... I'm appropriately bezausted!🤣Had a fabulous time, did AllTheThings...and yes OK I succumbed to a ShowBag but only ONE! So grateful - love my family! ❤️

7883

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

GoodThursdayNightAll No swimming tomorrow - being taken to Royal Melbourne Show by family - am as excited as an overwound clock. Love the animals and produce and woodchopping and cake decorating and yes... of course I'll buy a Showbag full of things hopelessly unsuitable. Yay! 🤣

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

WednesdayGoodnightAll Grew up in loving family of 6, of which I'm grateful to be the survivor. Memories of 3 of them today - 1 October being my parents Wedding Anniversary and my older brother's birthday. All still with me in spirit as I attempt to make the most of every day. ♥️

May we all sleep the sleep of an innocent child… makes it so much easier tomorrow to deal with the adult we’ve become! 🤣❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

Just home from trial drama workshop with residents in Aged Care facility above pool I attend! Was a very thought-provoking walk home. They were wonderful - some on walkers, some in wheelchairs - all sorts of health challenges but Oh the courage! Happy tears, think it's a goer! ♥️

7645

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday - (all GeelongFC supporters exempt from having to reply.) Didn't think I'd ever do this but am actually sacrificing (hear the virtue?) my swimming session tomorrow. 2nd visit to wonderful residents above pool to discuss drama classes. Yay!😊

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

GoodSaturdayMorningAll Feeling perky after 9hrs sleep! Bus sailed way past my bus stop yesterday - adding many steps to reach 10,000 for the day.😱 Catching up with much of family today - 11 of us at lunch - what a hoot. Have a beautiful day with at least one serving of fun.😂❤️

2360

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

I'm off to bed... 5am and the pool await! Head feels so light now with crewcut that I'll have to put a weight on my forehead to stop it floating upwards! 🤣 Sleep well, you lot! Kindness is the password for tomorrow! ❤️

7441

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Just had a crewcut! WHAAAT? Yes I have...and I love it. Hairdresser was astonished, yet delighted. "We'll be edgy" she said with enthusiasm, waving her clippers in the air. And edgy it is! And I'm so happy! Never let anyone tell you you're too old for.... [fill in the blank!]! 😂

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

AVeryLateGoodNightAll Came home from a very determined attempt to kick all the water out of the pool today and ended up sleeping for an hour. Now I'm wide awake! Ah! The perversity of following one's dreams - but am loving it! Sleep well! 😊 ❤️

2260

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

An early Goodnight All One does this when one is silly enough to rise at 5am but even sillier when sleep rarely visits before 10pm. 🤣Alright... I do read in bed - childhood habit. 😊 Was so lovely to have so many conversations today. Sending love to say 'thank you'! ❤️

Nancy Cato @nancycato.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Have just spent three hours filling two Green Bins from my little garden... would never have lasted without the strength gained from my Learning to Swim project. So happy! 'Never too late!' 😊💓
