As well as the daily ’On This Day’ (below) on the new site, every Friday features fotos of felines – six of them in fact… here’s an abridged sample: Oh! And for dog-lovers like Beastie and Annie, there will always be room for the occasional pooch!

Pinch and a punch… Here is a sample On This Day from the new Cane & Able website.  From July 1 each day will have something historical and something silly relating to that day as well as stuff on people who were born or died on that date… it is a similar sample to the [...]

Dear Maj…  Well done.  60 years in any job, let alone one as crappy as yours, is an achievement – and to do it with such personal style and grace with so much scrutiny and dysfunction around you, bravo.  Looks like your granddaughter-in-law is a keeper, too.

Boy, I am thrilled to have a team of wise and witty MSers around the planet happy to contribute to the new online project! They will be writing on what to do and see in their neck of the woods, with an eye out for disabled access. At present there’s Dale doing Toronto and Montreal, [...]

May 30 is World MS Day! …And if you have a list of goodies to get from Bunnings, today is an excellent day to get your rasp into gear… The cool volunteers from MS Toowoomba will be at Bunnings selling Kiss Goodbye to MS goodies and raffle tickets and generally getting more awareness for this crazy disease [...]

Hmm… people keep talking up the economy but there are a lot of job losses hitting the news at the moment – and there is one reliable barometer to the mood of the people – restaurants. No matter what the state of the nation, apparently hairdressers and bottleshops are bullet-proof, but people tighten the belt [...]

SWEDEN!!! Yes, the sublimely pointless Eurovision Song Contest wound up in Azerbaijan and Sweden got the gong! It was taken out by some darkly brooding bint called Loreen (above) who apparently made her way through wind and smoke machines gesticulating like she was strangling an invisible cat. Who knows, who cares?! Ah ha, I know [...]

My vertigo/fear of heights must be getting even worse – these three pics made me spin and go weak in the knees… especially the third one!
