I was today years old when I learned that staplers come with a compartment for spare staples! š¤Æ
How did I not know this?!
@jen_marchant said: āCheck the under carriage for spares.ā
What under carriage? What spares?!
She was the only person in the building that knew about it.

Another massive signal outage for the Sydney and NSW train network. š
This happened only a few weeks ago.
The driver of the train Iām on (Central Coast/Newcastle line) has changed ends and weāve just started reversing.
So unreliable, @TransportforNSW!

.@liormusic performing his songs with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the new @sydneyoperahouse concert hall was very special.
Itās easily one of the best things Iāve seen live. š¶
And hearing Lior sing in Hebrew for āCompassionā arranged by Nigel Westlake is out of this world.

So Mums oncologist heard this interview and at todays appt asked me about it and what they could do differently in the future to help! He admitted he had never thought of these things before, but had assumed someone else was explaining those things. @CoxDan - amazing!

Iāve done a million radio interviews about my research and even some about @NewcastleJetsFC but this morning @CoxDan invited me to talk about this and my journey with Mums illness on ABC Newcastle. It was definitely harder but I was glad for the opportunity.

20 months of supporting mum through compromised mobility due to brain cancer and someone finally taught me the proper & safe way to walk with her as a physical support. Why donāt they give carers lessons in these practical things?
