“As a day well spent brings s happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death” Leonardo Da Vinci

What started way back in 2011 as a small blog about things to ponder while on the toilet, quickly exploded
across 65 countries.

in just six months. As a result, PR companies came asking us to review their movies, events and
restaurants etc.

As time went on I reconsidered our aim.

What started as a bit of fun had morphed into something else.

The Ponder Room wasn’t and still isn’t about making money. Instead I realized a key reason for writing
every week was to show my elderly parents what was happening in Perth. They looked forward to every
post, and we’d talk about it on the weekend.

More recently the feedback has shown me it’s not just about my own parents, loneliness and feelings of
isolation are increasing exponentially. With this in mid our aim has broadened to help people get the most
out of life, particularly anyone who feels alone or isolated in the community.

Over the years The Ponder Room family has grown to include:

A YouTube channel called The Ponder Room TV, which presents short videos about what’s happening in
Perth, the most isolated capital city in the world.
A range of books, which can be found here on Amazon both as ebooks or hardcopy. See more under the
My Books tab.

We hope you enjoy The Ponder Room family offerings, that they brighten your day and help you get the
most out of your life.
