Dementia

Dividing my time,many times over the years, I have written notes on how I would like to divide my time.Getting closer to realizing this objective.I have made time for my walking and my writing ,sleeping and work seems to take care of them selves.Haven't yet found the space for dedicating a hour a day on guitar playing.I have left a guitar in the special care unit at work and when I work up there on Thursday and Friday evenings, I often get the chance to play.I have no idea, who named the dementia wing ...SCU...sounds more like an American crime program.Special care unit, don't really know about the unit part and not really sold on the special care either.It was designed to suit the needs of those diagnosed and living with dementia, somewhere along the line , some one in a position of power wasn't comfortable with the dementia label and decided that special care was more appropriate...The D word, dementia, lets not mention it or lets call it something else..It's not a

I have been back in Ubud about 4/5 days now and today was the day I decided to have lunch at the Casa Luna. Next door to where I am staying is the "The Sagittaruis Restaurant " It has pumpkin ravoli and pesto on the menu,and I found out on my last visit that it was kind of poached from the Casa Luna,with a few other dishes too, which gives the Sagittaruis Inn a great menu and g
