This September I’m walking 63 km for Lifeline’s Out of the Shadows Walk, reflecting the ~63 Australians who die by suicide each week. Every $39 helps Lifeline answer a crisis call. outoftheshadowswalk.org.au/s…

It is National Blood Doner week. Fewer than 1 in 30 people donate blood. Yet, 1 in 3 of us will need it during our lives. I survived because of the community service of others who gave blood. Recheck your eligibility. The criteria has changed. lifeblood.com.au/true-colour…

Word of the day is 'overmused' (17th century): wearied by too much thinking.

This on par if not better than the Olympic James Bond scene. The Queen having tea with Paddington - incredible that at 96 and after 70 years on the throne she still has the power to surprise #platinumpartyatthepalace

Word of the day is a reminder of the Scots ‘flench’: to give a deceitful promise of improvement. Used of weather or a situation that looks as though it might get better, but never actually does.

Procrastinating about your will? To help people pick up that can and stop kicking it down the road, State Trustees has dropped the price for an online will to $20. If you would rather talk to someone as you make a will, you can book an appointment with one of our consultants.
