You learnt from Philippe Petit himself? Major credit. Nothing but respect for him.

Hello very pleased to hear from you! A few questions.. I remember reading and hearing about leper colonies where people were cruelly abandoned. I imagine, that that they still remain in some places, unfortunately, as people are misinformed and old stigmas remain.

How does someone come to suffer from it?

How can people who have it be best supported?

And what helps eliminate it? What is a good way forward?

All best to you good person, go well.

I like your ideas, and would add. Traditionally in dry, very hot climates, my Greek friends make … Watermelon and Haloumi salad - delicious! Bit of mint and salt, awesome!

From other traditions, Jam and cheddar is an award winning desert at Berowa Waters Resturant, or a good cheddar with English fruitcake is a Yorkshire English tradition for some. And everyone knows a sharp Apple and cheddar as starters or afters, or pear with parmesan and greens salad, lifts things.

I keep hearing of that response when people in work places bring up real concerns based on facts, such as lack of test kits in some states, the response from colleagues and superiors to them, is to treated them like they are mad. Yet that is the definition of being gaslighted.

It seems the way people are treated as if mad and their rational concerns dismissed, is because so many people are willfully in denial, they want to be in denial, and support each other in being so, that way they do not have to take personal responsibility on others behalf’s. This is a sad and criminally dangerous side of human nature, to let prevail in the workplace.

Hello Toni, those are extraordinary achievements, in your time you’ve already done more than many in twice as many years, but actually changing your life is the biggest, it doesn’t matter how far you travel, how rich or poor that is something that can’t be bought or booked ahead and is just the best.

A reflection on existence I liked, observed how we viewed our lack of existence or non being before birth with acceptance and a fact that is not of the least concern, and that is rather different to how we look at death, I thought it interesting and of comfort in some ways.

My thoughts and best for you, friends and family and sharing the highs and lows that the roller coaster of life with terminal illness comprises, with black humour and grace. Thanks for being here too!
