I have to make a quick confession, here.
And something of an appeal, as well, before I head out.
I’m something of a Terry Pratchett fan, as you’re probably aware.
And also had a much loved grandmother who was deeply affected by dementia/Alzheimer’s.
So, listening to Radio 4, this morning, and finding out it’s Dementia Awareness Week in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, this week, grabbed my attention.
At least, grabbed it enough to prompt me to tell you about it.
AND to let you know that the Alzheimer’s Society is having something of a fund raiser about it.
AND that they’ve issued a whole pile of video’s on YouTube.
Just so you know, you can make a UK donation, here.
AND you can also watch the video’s through the embedded video, below.
Please give donating a thought.
Going by the statistics Radio 4 handed out?
40% of us will have a relative affected by it at some point.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
