Donuts and a windgat parkie.
Something different, three short stories. Donuts in my backyard Donuts? Yummy you may be thinking. Disappointingly not. And no rubber burning either, I am talking Parkinson’s Donuts. Let me explain. Continue reading Donuts and a windgat parkie.

Walk of life
A photo received from Susan Simpson in Ireland referring to my previous post “Shadows, naked trees and PD”. I was pondering over walking. How it is something we take for granted, something we don’t even have to think about. And then the Dire Straits song “Walk of life” came to mind, Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies “Be-Bop-A-Lula”…..The song is about a musician who plays his guitar for…

Shaky Town
I have not posted a blog for a while. The main reason is that I got tired of everything revolving around or coming back to Parkinson’s. Not that I didn’t write but it just seemed to be the same theme. But this is a blog about life with PD and maybe occasionally I could and might just write about life without mentioning the shaky beast. Continue reading Untitled

The tune up
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens The photo is of one of the centenarian trees at Kirstenbosch – unfortunately I failed to record what type of tree it is. I love looking up into trees it is like nature’s kaleidoscope. This tree is over a 100 years old, I am always amazed by this, and I imagine the tales this tree could tell. This tree involved a fair uphill walk and if you read further, you will see…

The almost perpetual loop
The almost perpetual loop
When I told this to my wife she couldn’t stop laughing. I think she may secretly be a sadist who takes pleasure in my self-inflicted hardships. For this reason, I present this little tale of woe, in order that you my valued reader can make your own mind up. She isn’t really a sadist, she laughs with me and not at me………well, that’s what she says. (more…)

In 1977 David Dundas released the song “Jeans on”. I am really dating myself now but it was a firm favorite of a very shy 11-year-old me. I would find myself badly singing along to the catchy lyrics on the radio. 🎶 (more…)

Parkinson’s adventures
A friend of mine, who also has Parkinson’s WhatsApped me a while ago to suggest getting together, Covid permitting. We were introduced a few years back as a result of both of us having Parkinson’s and we have been able to be an encouragement and a sounding board for one another. We are in similar stages (similar but different 😉) with our Parkinson’s journey.Continue reading

Benefits of carrot muffins.
Benefits of carrot muffins.
Last week I felt like carrot muffins. Baking is not something I do that often – the bar is set extremely high in our house by my wife and daughter. But reminding myself that it is not a competition and trying to forget my feeble attempt at scones, I set about gathering the ingredients, first the dry – flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, a bit of salt; then the wet – almond milk, oil,…

I always sprinkle the trees leaves just to get rid of sand that has blown onto it. I had seen the little sunbird on previous…

The Rusty Wheelbarrow
A few years ago, my parents-in-law were moving from their house to a smaller place, and this necessitated getting rid of a considerable amount of stuff that they would not have space for. Naturally, everybody went to have a look if there was anything they could provide a home for at a fair price. We came away with a good number of plants and plant pots and a few other things. But I had spotted a…

A year of almost stillness.
A year of almost stillness.
It is hard to believe that today (03 August 2020) marks the anniversary of my deep brain surgery. Time has flown by. There have been so many improvements. And whilst it is not a cure, it does feel like I have stepped back in time to at least when it began. Well I do not really know when that was, but it feels like I have gone back to the earliest days of my Parkinson’s diagnosis (about 15 years).
