Puffinus Park

Puffinus is a genus of seabirds who soar above the oceans, travelling thousands of miles every year in migrating to their nesting grounds. They mate for life. This is my journey as I cared for, and now remember my husband. He was a quite older than I, and we had been together for over 25 years. He was sharp of mind but frail. I speak of caring for someone at the close of their life; of loss, grief and love. We shared so much; now I would like to share this journey with you, please.

Bamix Forever

With myself almost numb from shock, we talked with the Meals on Wheels lady who organised Arthur's deliveries of a hot lunch 5 days a week. This is more to get people into the house than to ease the load on me, as cooking for Arthur is not a problem, and to ensure if I am out, someone will be checking on him at lunchtime, as this is part of their role too. For $A6.50 a day Arthur will get his lunch delivered from tomorrow.

I bought a new Bamix hand-held blender yesterday. My own one, a secondhand 1970's vintage, stopped after 40 years of service in home kitchens. This Swiss made appliance is worth the extra money, $200 as apposed to about 40-odd for lesser brands, a Bamix will last 25 years without missing a beat. This thing will probably out-live me. I must leave it to someone in my will.

Hi Meme,
As this is an open blog, I will not put anything that compromises your privacy.
It is good to hear from you.
Sounds like I had better print out my blog details in case I can't remember it one day too. :)
cheers
