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.

Oh what a great poem Ivor! I must apologise, I am days and days behind, both on the reader and my e-mail. I can guess there are a few of yours to catch up on, plus many others. Hopefully, I will catch up. 🙂
oh you will be ok, those tips will come in handy and its because they care so much about you. just take it one thing at a time, its easy to get overwhelmed and think you want to be a savvy traveler, getting lost and confused can be just as memorable.
a fun one and all you really need is passport and cash, the rest you can buy there. How’s the fitness program going, hope you’re not busting a boiler …
