Discovered #NaniEdgar singing #AlohaOe.
Beatifully sad, gets the tears and sadness flowing.
Which we rather need around here.
Little pesky English (?) to take the focus away from the tone of the singing and instruments.
If not now then when?

After a hard day of #AgingInPlace aged care including too much back office Google-type technocrap, I'm settling down for a relaxing 1:12 hr:min of a dangerously deluded manipulative parent, career-minded offspring, mass violence, despair, betrayal & god knows what other delights, contained in a #TableTopShakespeare of #KingLear performed by #RobinArthur of #ForcedEntertainment with appearances by a stella cast of sauces bottles, bicycle shed lubricants & glass cylinder vases. -

Autonomy & Manipulation
This stuff is more complex than I'd thought.
I've bought a #RedPlate and now an #ElderlyRelative is not rejecting their meal, or rejecting it so much less that all of it gets eaten.
I'd like to hear from other carers and also parents on when you think manipulation is ok, when it fits with autonomy, when it doesn't, when it's not ok, and things like that.

Was asked to open the plastic honey tub after a 45 year old massuese known for strong massages was unable to open it even with a spoon.
This is ridiculous - over half the population will be unable to open these food containers. We need government regulation.

An #ElderlyRelative is heartily sick and tired of taking 5 x #FishOil capsules the size of footballs (hyperbole).
Today the first dessert spoonful of fish oil went down in seconds with no drama.

@Unixbigot This may be a bit over-the-top…

#AgingInPlace is difficult.
#ElderlyRelative's #TileApp reports her credit card is astray in a restaurant some distance from home.Helpers keep getting timed out on website as they try to get a stop put on the credit card.
Phone call to #ANZ #Bank fails as the call centre worker's accent and low volume of speech makes communication with ElderlyRelative ineffective.#FailureToMakeReasonableAdjustment
