Pushkin. You know people now going through what I went through is so young that people, many

friends of mine now their parents are either by the diet or they're going

through into dementia or goodness knows what and people are so panicked

about it and how it overtakes the life and how difficult it is to look after.

That sort of one day at a time.

The best thing you can do, of course, if you know somebody who is a caretaker

is to offer them a day to look after, let them get out of the house and go and be sit with the person who's not well and not be

frightened of that to do that to keep an eye on somebody and give them some freedom because

that's the thing that I found the most difficult when I were times when I was completely on my own with my mother for days on end and I mean I had help at different times of course I had to because I wasn't there

but there were long many periods where I didn't have and that's where you can

help in that situation. That was Jacqueline Bissett. I'm Sam Burgoso and this is Talk Easy.

Welcome to the show. Oh, Everyone, I want to apologize for the delay in today's episode. I have been

infected once more with some kind of

Sickness as you can hear in my voice.

But we only have two more episodes left in the year

and our last two are so lovely and perhaps random to some of you but neither guest has ever done a

podcast before so this week it is with the wonderful Jacqueline Bissett and next week we will end this

year's show with Keith David but for today I have a feeling you know who Miss

Bissett is and it is pronounced Bissett not

beset and she made clear of that when we sat down earlier this week. She is a

wonderful wonderful actress who got her start in the 60s and has pretty much consistently

worked since then.
