Hello Reader, With Mental Health Awareness Week (12–18 May) upon us, I’ve been reflecting on how important it is to care for our mental wellbeing—especially during life changes like retirement. It turns out that staying mentally healthy doesn’t have to mean anything complicated. Things like keeping a routine, staying socially connected, and making time for regular movement can all make a big difference. I’ve found that retired or semi-retired doesn’t mean slowing down—it often means having a fuller calendar than ever! Whether it’s social clubs, fitness groups, or hobby meetups, there are so many ways to stay active and connected. That’s why I’m excited to share our partnership with Life Activities Clubs Victoria, a wonderful network of community clubs offering everything from walking groups and table tennis to social outings and lifelong learning. If you’ve been looking for more ways to fill your days with fun and friendship, this might be just the thing! I’d love to hear—what activities keep you feeling well and energised? Hit reply and let me know. Take care,
P.S. You might notice a few small ads on the website now. I’m trying to keel them minimal—no pop-ups or noisy videos!—As I want to keep your experience as pleasant as possible. It’s just a small way to help cover the cost of running this free resource for our community.

Hi there Reader, It's Diane here. I hadn’t been to Chadstone in years — and wow, has it changed! It just keeps growing. You could easily spend a full week exploring it properly, especially with all the new food options. On my visit, I stumbled across a clever AI-powered recipe tool in their latest food precinct. With a little help from a very friendly concierge, I gave it a go. I’m coeliac, so I added that into the notes, chose Italian and salmon, and within seconds it had suggested five...
Hi there Reader, I recently had a brilliant afternoon at Playing Second Fiddle! It’s not often a show has the whole room beaming, but this one did — and then some. One audience member summed it up perfectly when they simply shouted, “Fantastic!” alongside the applause. And honestly, they weren’t wrong. Created by the talented Victoria Mantynen, Sincerely Yours is more than just a performance program. It’s a celebration of community, connection, and musical theatre. After the music, you’re...
Hello Reader, There’s something special about autumn in Melbourne, isn’t there? The air gets that little bit crisper, the parks put on a show, and suddenly a cup of tea outdoors feels like a real treat. Lately, I’ve been thinking about the small things I still want to squeeze in before winter arrives — maybe a slow garden stroll, a midweek matinee, or finally trying that café with the courtyard seating everyone keeps talking about. Our contributor, Kaye, recently captured this autumn magic so...
