Thank you so much!

Unpaid carers ( like myself) are usually relatives. We save the government millions but get little support. As social care cuts means we do more and more. Carers allowance is £81 a week. 24/7 care with no holidays or time off.

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Oh gosh, yes. Really holding up half the sky- it’s absurd how much work carers can do, and how poorly it’s supported and remunerated. Sending all the very best ❤️

Ah what a cool book Orbital sounds like. I think I’m going to try it! Have a wonderful holiday!

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Thank you so much! And I hope you like Orbital!

Sorry to hear you're having to deal with dementia in your family Bob. As a writer, to lose one's memories and words is the most terrifying prospect to me. Have a great holiday.

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Thank you so much- I really appreciate it! And same here- that idea scares me a ridiculous amount!

Thank you very much!

I bought Orbital a few months ago but haven't read it yet; you've reminded me about it! My mother and my mother-in-law both have dementia; my MIL is late stage but still remembers how to play dozens of hymns on the piano. It's remarkable. I'm sorry that you also have family with dementia. It's tough. Have a wonderful holiday!

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

It’s a gorgeous little book, I think! Oh gosh, so sorry to hear it- I hope you’re keeping okay! And thank you!

Have a great holiday Bob

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Thank you!

Hope you are having a lovely holiday. I really loved Orbital for its reflective quality and different perspective. Thank for talking so thoughtfully about dementia. It is not an easy thing to deal with as a family but as you say we need to hang on to the humanity within it.

@BobTheBookerer Месяц назад

Thank you! And yes, Orbital is such an odd gem of a book! And thank you- it’s been a learning experience for sure, but holding on to that humanity has made it feel a bit easier.
