G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Sounds idyllic! Every Sunday should be this joyful! β€ Have a great week!
There’s plenty of hope Ali… I know it’s harder in the populated areas, but we obeyed the basic rules, distancing, hand cleaning, masks, and only go out for supplies, there was no travel beyond 5 Km, etc… it was tough, for 8 months, but it worked…
Yes it feels like liberation day…. here in Australia, we are basically Covid free, and no recorded new cases in Victoria for 20 days, so most restrictions were lifted on the weekend….
OH MY GOSH…YAY!!! What a wonderful day! π This has me all giddy and giggly! I’m so happy for you, Ivor! And oh oh OH…always glad when you get cake! π
(((HUGS)))
PS…thank you for getting me hooked on Sigur RΓ³s!!!
Oh it’s easy to get hooked on Sigur Ros.. I’m now watching a live concert of theirs at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
… Wow sensational.. you’ll find it on YouTube.. It’s a music must ππ
And in Geelong and Australia, we are now basically Covid free, and no more masks.. Yeah ππππΆ
Tempting,, but I’ve my exercise group this morning, and the rest of the day I’m with my proof-reading, editor friend doing my manuscript… yep ..long day ahead… π
