That’s another plus about organizations, while they may also think you have to do whatever they say, they’re more realistic about what that is because it has likely already been tested in court.

I can if it’s not until next week.
Yeah New Zealand has a few references to British India. The Coromandel Peninsula is named after the Coromandel Coast in East India.
So you should, “entrepreneurship” is a Big Kids word! 😄
I hear you on the pay cheque. Preferably from a large organization.
As far as I can see being an author in NZ is not what to do if you want money, it’s more a side thing done by people who already have good jobs.
True, true, the only way to make money seems to be self publish and for that you need space for a garage full of books!
I’m not sure what it’s like these days but NZ was always so small we don’t really need an agent for local publishers, though.
Yeah I was kind of mentioning this stuff more because one day your parents will get old.
Statins have benefits that typically outweigh the side effects, and confusingly they seem to protect people from dementia as well as causing issues with memory and cognition. It’s nothing to regret, just worth knowing it’s a factor.
It does work. That loop is so strange, I like it!
You actually don’t have to, most publishers want to pick the illustrator themselves so they just want you to send them the words part.
Diet can do it too, e.g vitamin D deficiency also causes cognitive decline, and if doctors find out someone is eating 50% butter and puts them on statins (anti cholesterol) that causes reversible cognitive decline as well.
Bizarrely, with elderly people you also have to watch out for “silent” UTIs - they don’t hurt so the person might not realise they have one and it causes really marked signs of dementia, eg they say really dementia-ish things. Antibiotics clears it up. I saw this one first hand and it was such a relief to actually figure it out and get the person back to normal.
I love the light shining through the trees and sky. Is it a river, or a pond?
Gorgeous! I haven’t been there in years, I don’t remember it being so flowery!
You could totally write kids’ books.
It’s not all natural either. I’ve recently learned about anticholinergic burden and am annoyed I didn’t know sooner because with the health system the way it is now (so many locums, no continuity of care, overworked hospitals) elderly people really need their family looking out for stuff like this.

Bunch of factors:
cognitive decline
cognitive issues related to medications eg anticholinergic burden
belief that they no longer “understand” the way things work and have to take younger people’s word for things
fear due to physical vulnerability (give in to scammers to avoid getting hurt physically)
loneliness (give in to scammers because they think they are making a human connection)
What we can do to help oldies is to be actively in their lives and looking out for them. Helping them navigate stuff and just letting them know we are there.
Super atmospheric. I love the bit of light on the rhs it kind of suggests the contrast of a cosy house with the street.
Beautiful, that mist layer really makes it ethereal!
Ah I didn’t see it. Thanks for the link, interesting.
On a casual read through: “satellite” is misspelt, “fibre” is randomly capitalized in the section on fibre quality, typo “team” for “term” in the ethnicity section, and in the employment status section “less” should be “fewer”. 😊
