This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things

| PROMPT May 6th Write about a community service or volunteer experience you’ve had in your life that made an impact on you. I think that everyone should put their hand up and volunteer at least once in their lives. I’ve not been a prolific volunteer, but have throughout my life tried to do a bit here and there. Depending on different stages of life I’ve volunteered at school fetes, tuck shops and school excursions. Later there was a time I used to pick up oldies and take them to appointments. But the one that had the most impact, and did the longest, was for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. It’s a sort of ‘make a wish come true’ for terminally ill children. That really made an impact seeing brave kids dealing with things they should never have to deal with. |
| PROMPT May 5th If your job gave you a surprise seven day paid break to rest and recuperate, what would you do with those seven days? At my age and stage, a seven days paid break would make no difference. We are retired and living in Western Australia far away from the effects of Covid 19 and have no desire to go where the chances of coming across said disease is more likely. I’m such a home bird I’d probably think of all the chores or jobs around my home this break would give me a chance to do. When we were working and such an offer came up then we’d probably take the ski boat down to the river and water ski, barbecue and drink beer. I’m not a fan of air travel, it’s not that I’m scared of flying, I simply hate the whole idea of it. The artificial air, food and the whole experience turns me off. I very nearly went back to the UK in May 2020. That was the nearest I’ve got for the last twenty years to going “home.” Talked into it by my daughter who offered to “take” me. She said I’d regret not seeing my two remaining brothers and their families if I didn’t go. The only thing that was good about COVID was that it stopped me doing that horrendous flight from Perth to London. It’s looking more likely that travel restrictions will ease and there will be no more excuses. I think I’ll play the “too old card” |
