Spot That Slide…and Stop It!
Ageing Well, But The Odd Problem?

Spot That Slide…and Stop It!

Bodies create their own version of rules. One of them seems to be something like, “If there is a problem find an alternative solution, something easier”. But dont bother to tell your owner, just do it.

Feeling Stupid in a Cinema….Parasite Danger?
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Feeling Stupid in a Cinema….Parasite Danger?

It is a pretty good way to feel stupid. That urgent loo call in the middle of a film and you know you will have to feel your way down two dozen steps. And on each one apologise for resting your hand on a bald head or young woman’s shoulder….

Disability Adaptations? In my house? No!
Ageing Well, But The Odd Problem?

Disability Adaptations? In my house? No!

Why isnt it seen as ordinary to have a grab bar in a shower?. Shouldn’t we assume it normal and sensible for there to be one? Could we provoke a feeling that hotels and people who don’t have one are being rather silly?

Curiosity is Intrigued by a Malawian Village

Or go to see a UEFA football match in the local thatched roof cinema..which has its own solar panel!

“What Did You Say!”  Time to Talk About Unthinking Ageism?
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

“What Did You Say!” Time to Talk About Unthinking Ageism?

We are caring people, yet we find it so hard to realise when our kindly meant words are actually Ageist. The answer has to be education. A steady subtle feed of fresh thinking, new realistic images of later years, new words and phrases for us all to use …and sink into our unconscious!

So here I am, Joyce at 80+…
