Apologies to everyone, I did not do a quote this time. I realise the sound is not great, but this was the third time I'd recorded it. Anyway, enjoy,

To a woman who didn't suffer fools gladly, she was a force to be reckoned with. I applaud her tenacity and flair for being outspoken in a world when it was hard to speak openly as a woman. But it was in a time when being an outspoken woman was frowned upon. And she did shack up with a man 25 years her senior while he was still married to another woman, with whom he had fathered seven children. However, if she'd been a man doing this at the time, would there still be the dramatics associated with her?

Listen, it's a good one!

Hello my dear leaflets,

October is Australia's Mental Health Awareness Month. I do hope you're all ok. Some links for my top four countries that listen to my little pod:

In Australia: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/mental-health-helplines. This is a blanket site that will point you in the right direction.

In the UK: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/

In Germany: https://www.dzpg.org/ - it automatically changed to En for me, which was lovely!

In the USA: https://www.nami.org/ (you do have to confirm you're human with this one,..)

This episode is about spring, a few jobs we need to start with, including pruning and weeding. And then we talk about irrigation systems. There aren't many links to this one because it is all out of my noggin —my experience and expertise.
