Someone very dear to me died about 3 years ago. He was an AMAZING knitter & loved making things for friends & family! I keep him very close this time of year - literally (or @ least his creations - this one >15yrs old!). @liangrhea.bsky.social @iankremer.bsky.social

Or run a competition like they resorted to in rural NSW to ID the most needy (see below)🥺!?
Aged Care Home Package system (approval & provision) in Aus is in a bad way!! Not enough packages - not enough services to provide them (even for “End of Life” packages)!
@markbutlermp.bsky.social
Article in a rural NSW local newspaper about a competition for in home aged care services. People had to write in why they needed/deserved to win…
