Couldn't agree more Marie, and personal for me too. It's an outrage that this is dismissed by AT and demonstrates an utter lack of care for older frail vulnerable Australians and total ignorance of the workforce composition and complexity.

Binged on this today, remarkable series, albeit disconcerting double-edged at times.

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. It shouldn’t have to happen to you for it to matter 💙
Just becase something doesn't affect you personally doesnt mean you shouldn't care about it.
We, as humans should desire to see others Free from suffering.

Mr. 21 comes to me tonight and asks why the world is so divided. I answered. Entitlement, greed, misinformation, lack of education and a combination of all four, resulting in a complete inability to discern. We could have a great world and society. Could....

I donate any 'books to begone' to Lifeline in CBR and they have a book fair a couple of times a year 📚 Good luck making the decisions 🙏 I struggle offloading any books, inc recipes, but have become more ruthless in latter yrs.

We had one and our big ginger tom cat would knead the buttons in the morning so the radio would come on off on off, all the while intensely staring at us to "wake up humans and feed me" LOL Dizzy Gillespie was a cool cat 🐈

Up at sparrowfart this morn, was a bit dusty after fam dance party last night 🥂, so watched a couple of eps of current binge (Rita, 🇩🇰 show). Did some domestic admin then out to brunch for midling kidult's birthday 🎉 More Dad estate admin this arvo - quietly going insane in the membrane 😵‍💫

Happy Anniversary❣️ I will add this book to my reading pile 📚 I want to memoir too, but struggle to find time. I listened to Alice Pung talk about her process last weekend and wonder why I can't too - she's a partner, mother, lawyer, academic and writer! 🦋

I too worked in the office today and it was a reasonable day, I even sat outside in the sun at lunchtime 🙃 Got home to a messy drunk husband... oh dear, someone overdid the 7% lunch beers over cards 😵‍💫 WFH tomorrow, yay! Big weekend coming up 😊

Hmm up at 7am after stnd insomnia night 🥱 Finished listening to audio book over coffee 📚 Met son at Mum's to tackle more Dadmin 🙃 Hugged sister 💞 Brief dash to shop for milk 🐄 More Dadmin. Chat to BFF 🙏 Worked 3-5.30 😢 Now it's mindless scrolling 🤣

Belated applause 👏 I'm doing Dadmin too, it's a roller-coaster of emotion and navigation. I'm glad you found your equilibrium, it's wily and elusive to capture at times 💜🦋

THIS .... Everytime I find out another dementia risk factor my guts lurch. Dad died in Jan; Mum has dementia - they were propping each other up. Managing his estate and the aged care system is like permanently on a rollercoaster in the dark. Looking after my health is taking a backseat. FARK!
