		<description><![CDATA[Family were moving house last week, and asked if I could help for a day or two.  Don was keen for me to go and lend a hand, so I rolled my sleeves up and helped wash windows etc for two days. I was only gone for two nights, but when I came back Don [...]]]></description>

Not sure how committed I am to this blog any more.  I often have a comment, an anecdote, some musings, that I think I will put into a blog, but then wonder if it is too personal and too public.  This isn&#8217;t just my story, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I often read the blog of a caregiver who not only visits his wife every day, but also goes back to &#8220;tuck her in&#8221; about four or five times a week.  I thought how nice that must be, and how much it normalises the relationship, much more so than just doing the day visits.

Last week I supervised Ancient History, and spent a lot of time looking through the paper trying to remember the Ancient History I did at university.  It was so many years [...]]]></description>
