Why would anyone want broccoli in a sandwich? Certainly not me.

Most of us cricket fans knew all about Warney’s terrible diet as it was often mentioned when he was playing. Maybe his appalling eating habits contributed to his premature demise. He certainly enjoyed his rather short life.

All politicians are, Luckyus. We just have to put up with whichever side is in government & do the best we can. I choose to ignore the lot of them, but doesn’t quite work when the person in charge of USA makes an appearance on tv.

We watched The Movie Show for years, most likely until it finished, and thoroughly enjoyed the banter between David and Margaret. We also watched a lot of movies because David recommended them, he had an amazing way of quietly making a point about why we should all watch a particular film. It’s...

My son still complains about it, especially as we have fibre to the house, & he doesn’t. It’s a real sore point as he lives in Perth & we’re in Launceston, & could live without high speed internet, but he sits at a computer all day for work. 😂 Mr. Abbott certainly stuffed it up for a lot of...

Apparently it’s not the same. I’m always complaining about the quality of supermarket potatoes in Tasmania, so we now go to a green grocer in Launceston. I’ve not seen a potato looking like this, and certainly wouldn’t eat it if I did. My husbands nephew lives on the north west coast of Tassie...

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to inflict themselves on other countries. There appears to be a lack of respect for anything, especially in foreign countries.

I’ve never been a fan of scary movies so certainly won’t watch it even though Robert Mitchum is a terrific actor. You are so right about the news, totally horrible!

So you won’t be knocking people over to get your ticket Veggie? I’ve only heard him sing ? one song & still haven’t recovered. 😇 Imagine the state I’d be in if I saw him in concert, would most likely never get over it.

Sometimes it feels like we have most of my wardrobe in the car, coats, jumpers, scarves and hats. It’s a bit ridiculous but no one wants to be wet, cold or too hot. My son was driving down to Hobart one January & it snowed on the way. He FaceTimed his workmates back in Perth WA, & showed them...

Richmond is beautiful, I love the history and the old buildings. Ross has some lovely old buildings as well as an amazing convict built bridge, and a terrific bakery. Port Arthur is incredible, I haven’t met the ghost, but so many eerie buildings, especially the prison chapel, it gave me...

Don’t forget to pack a jumper and light raincoat, I live in Launceston, but Tasmanias weather is unpredictable. It’s been known to snow in summer. I love Hobart but it can be 30+ degrees one day & 15 the next. I hope that you have a wonderful trip, Tasmania has some uniquely beautiful places.
