My husband and his mate are doing their 20th Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster yacht race. Beforehand, they sat down to chat about their enduring friendship, and the wins and losses, through decades of ocean racing. sistersally.com.au?p=251732

My quitting ritual was the same each time and it involved a lot of cleaning. Washing the stench of booze & cigarettes off my body. Washing clothes & sheets. It took many years of quits, but I eventually gave up both for good. #nurselife #soberlife

This is my amazing friend Linda - a nurse, midwife and mother of 7. She has created a beautiful space for women and girls to be nurtured through every phase of life. It's called The Mother Love and it's in Yeppoon, Queensland.

What I've seen as a nurse triggered me to start donating blood. And with an ageing register of donors, Lifeblood needs more young people to sign up. Learn more here, plus lots of facts about blood (my favourite nerdy nurse topic!)

Covid cases are rising again. For me, the saddest part of Covid has been looking after critically ill patients who believed the misinformation. Plus info on viruses, vaccines and the latest health advice.
