I absolutely love dogs and I don't own one as I am not yet ready for the long term commitment. I would love to offer to walk or sit someone's dog. Or if you were going away for the wkend I could mind a small dog in my apartment. Contact me if interested and we can work something out. :)

Hi everyone,
I have a set of 4 faux leather chairs available which will be dumped if not taken away. They are not in the great condition visually as "leather" has worn on the seat part, but they can be covered and be fit for the purpose 100%. If anyone is interested, it is collection only from Sandyford until 2nd November.
Lesson
To help with book writing and self-publishing
Category: Helping Hand
They say everyone has at least one book in them, if you feel the same and want to self-publish then get in touch.
I can give you advice on the mechanics of getting something out there. I can help you navigate the world of self-publishing from getting beta-readers to look over the work, to finding an editor, formatting the book and choosing how to distribute it online.
I don't have all the answers and I can't promise you a place on the New York Times Best Seller list but if you are new to self-publishing I can certainly help you get started.

Read internal SATA computer hard drives (desktop and laptop size) via USB cable. Good for backing up files from a PC that won't load etc. Note: doesn't support old IDE hard drives, SATA only. Also has an Australian plug so would need a converter (usually a euro or two).

Lesson
Harnessing technology to keep connected with the elderly
Category: Computers
I taught my 86 year old Grandmother to use an Android tablet and the Amazon Alexa to stay entertained and feel connected with family around the globe. With just the basics it has become a lifeline for an elderly person living alone. She has video calls with family in New Zealand, plays Scrabble online with me most days, catches up with Coronation Street if she missed an episode and asks Alexa the time or to play some songs. I would like to assist others have the same experience, whether it be directly with the individual or the family.
Topics we can cover:
Digital personal assistants - a friendly voice in the house.
Video chat.
Catch up TV.
Playing games.
Social media to feel connected with family.
Staying safe and alert online.
