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.

But, with you and Sir Frankie in the house, I know the there is light and warmth…you 2 bring the sun with you! 🌞 🌞
(((HUGS))) 🙂
PATS and RUBS! 🐶
Frankie is wondering why am I home all the time .. I am getting those quizzical doggie looks 🐶🐶 .. I’ll be ok Carolyn .. and I am all organised for my recovery time at home 🏡 😊🌏😎🐶
this too will pass … sorry to hear Richmond Road has been causing you grief, he is a first class rascal with no regard for our seriousness … the nuisance of being anonymous!
Thanks Kate .. I didn’t mind RR comment… It shows that at least he read my article … I’m not in favour of anonymous blogs … if you don’t want people to know who you are … then why write on WP… it’s a friendly community based platform ..
Aww!
