First Aid & Home Remedies

By Greg then Trenna

Introduction

This post comes from another document on Trenna’s well organised (of course) iPad.

All I’ve done is cut and paste the original document into the main body of this post. I’ve also inserted a PDF of the original document as it appears on the iPad.

I hope you find it either useful or interesting – or both.

Blepharitis & Conjunctivitis

Medical Notes From Trenna’s iPad

Here is a page Trenna made about two eye problems she encountered.

Everyone is welcome to read the post, but it doesn’t contain any funny or poignant stories. I’m just trying to pass on some information Trenna accumulated in case it is of use to anyone else.

Maybe in the future it has historical benefit as well. Who knows!

In case you are wondering, according to the Mayo Clinic (who Trenna trusted for this sort Read the rest ... “Blepharitis & Conjunctivitis”

The Art of Conversation

Wisdom From Trenna’s iPad

This is an item I noticed on Trenna’s iPad and thought I’d share. I knew it was there, and Trenna would remind me of it from time to time.

She was extremely supportive of my career and encouraged me in it. As a result I was involved in a number of professional organisations, and held some senior positions.

She was also supportive of me going to conferences and professional development sessions. Even when it meant I … Read the rest ... “The Art of Conversation”

To Feel Able

Weekday Routine 2016 and 2017

Intro by Greg, and then Trenna

Among the documents on Trenna’s iPad there are two called “Weekly Routine”. One is labelled “2016” and the other “2017”.

It is actually not quite as pernickety as it seems.

In this post I will reproduce both of them. In them Trenna goes into immense detail abut times she intends doing things and what looks like a very strict routine.

The Key to Happiness and Fulfilment

Intro by Greg, Wisdom by Trenna

Here is another pearl from Trenna’s iPad. It looks like she started it on 27 April 2016 (at 10:31 am) but then didn’t edit it again until 31 May 2017. (How nerdy is that detail I’ve given you?!)

PLEASE NOTE: It is a 3 page document from the iPad, if your browser is only showing one page you may need to click on the link or the Download button.

Moshing With Black Sabbath!

By Greg and Trenna

Reliving the Experience

Looking through Trenna’s iPad I came across the document she wrote to review/record the Black Sabbath concert we went to along with a friend, Adrian. It was the first time I had read this piece since 2016.

It immediately brought back memories of a really fab night. I also found some of the turns of phase pretty entertaining.

I will put her writing below, in the main body of this post but also … Read the rest ... “Moshing With Black Sabbath!”

The Recce-Vite

A little bit of fun is better than none

by Greg

Trenna became aware at some point around 2010 that she was getting out of the house less and less – it was often pretty hard. But she didn’t want to lose touch with the city in which she lived.  And she wanted some recreation and a change of scenery.

So, she invented the “Recce-Vite”. She was using French words to describe a quick look around somewhere.

A recce-vite was … Read the rest ... “The Recce-Vite”

Living With Your Spouse

The iPad Documents – Collected and Created Knowledge From Trenna

This post is a simple one, but to Trenna and I the following was important.

In May 2017 Trenna wrote the PDF document that appears below. The formatting was as she wrote it on her iPad. The font size she used was large to help her read it.

The distinctive colour was to help her find it on her iPad when the document was minimised.

As far as I can … Read the rest ... “Living With Your Spouse”
