Sunday 4 October A new month, new horizons?

Well the calendar has turned over again - and it has been a time of stable health for myself, but slightly less stable for Brian just now. It's a shame we can't seem to coordinate things a bit better but this evening we suddenly realised that the last time Brian saw his neurologist, he decided to try Brian on a different brand (but same Levodopa amount) of Parkinson's tablet. We now believe that if Brian is having a 'worse' day, it is worse on this different brand - so we'll go back to the original brand we think - and see if that helps again?? Worth a try we believe... 

The month has started with Caitlin's birthday on the 2nd, and it was a delight to welcome Simon and Caitlin here for the (somewhat controversial) footy finals long weekend. 
We met at the very Hawks-inspired Gollasch household to watch the footy, and tried to be gracious in defeat, having decided to barrack for West Coast.

Early in the game we watched the TV with some interest and passion, but as the match progressed, so did the wanderings away from the TV! What a shame it wasn't a more exciting and closer game.

Meanwhile we had a lovely time with Simon and Caitlin, as they 'to-ed and fro-ed' in glorious Spring weather with little walks around the Portland lagoon, or paddling at Nun's Beach. Along with Adrian and Dale and Kodey popping in and out we had a lovely 'Pfeiffer' weekend together.

Tomorrow the warm weather is meant to continue - and Brian and I have re-booked the Holiday House at Dunkeld that we had to cancel a while back, so tomorrow morning we will head off for 4 days. We will play it all by ear, and be as quiet or as 'energetic' as we want to be. 
We'll let you know how we go!
