Wow you are getting smashed by the weather at the moment @Shaz51!!
Gardening Australia has been running for so long. An ABC classic. Do you enjoy gardening?

Re: Meet the Peer support workers
No not really @Former-Member
I like easy gardening, plants and bushes that are colourful and grow by themselves
Both my mum and mother inlaw both have green thumbs but being 88 and 91 have stopped gardening now
How about you

Re: Meet the Peer support workers
Yes it is very physical. My mum created a community garden a few years ago in her suburb but she is finding it difficult to manage the physical aspect. I did a wholesale nursery apprenticeship when I left school but my circumstances changed and I had to get a job that suited. I had my kids very young and worked from home for while. I do miss it, it is a very satisfying job because of all the beauty 🌻. I live in a unit now so I have a lot of indoor plants but miss the colour.
Is your mum close by to you? @Shaz51

We had our house fire 2 years ago and we moved in to mum's place to look after her
She has been getting more frail since until she broke her hip and has been in hospital 60kms until last week where she has been moved to residential age care at our local hospital which means less travel and I can pop in to see her more often

Re: Meet the Peer support workers
That is really sad but I am glad she is closer to you. Hip breaks are so problematic after a certain age. Ouch and love to your Mum x
Wow, house fires are not good! Did you have to move far? @Shaz51

Re: Meet the Peer support workers
That's lovely. I don't live too close to my parents so we facetime a lot.
How are the storms now? @Shaz51
