I just can't chose - maybe if I could, five instruments and five languages - best of both worlds!

I live right in the middle of this and it is bad. We have a few big zappers around our house and is working to an extent. Our house is not as bad as my neighbours. However we have dealt with mozzies for years and not really noticed them. This is the worst ever. Yesterday, when I left the house...

There seems to be a lot of recall notices lately. Cars are just not made the same any more. When all the car makers quit Australia we were told we would not notice any difference. How wrong they were. Most of the time to purchase a new car you have to wait for many months for delivery. My recent...

I have noticed people going through our bins to collect items that they can cash-in. I feel sorry for some of the ones who are struggling trying to get a little extra money. The ones who do this in our neighbourhood do this early in the morning and during the evening, and unless you see them you...

There are so many different types of disabilities, those that are very visible and those that are hidden. My disability is hidden, but it allows me to use disabled parking and I use the disabled toilets and parking when I need to when my balance is not the best and my mobility is not as good...

My parents and grandparents used to say most of these sayings above. Trouble is so do I! At least I am keeping tradition going.

Clever but real! My mum used to do this to save a few cents.

Getting Heart checks is essential especially if others in the family have had heart disease. My last heart check was in 2016 when all clear and very healthy heart and arteries. Last year (2023) I visited my GP during heart week and he suggested that we do a heart check given family history. This...

I have increasingly noticed this in some shops where you must pay by card and when you insert your card you do not have options of savings only credit and then there is a fee. We just can not win with our purchases. I have also recently noticed too that my card will not work on some machines in...

Our wonderful, old fashioned cake shop that has been around since the 1950s as a family business, have only recently put the prices to $5.50, best pies ever. I have noticed that over the last year that they have cut their hours of opening and no longer have the vast array of goods on offer. The...

We have certainly moved into the utopian world that many authors have warned us of in fiction like '1984' and 'Brave New World'. "Big Brother" is watching. The Orwellian world is here and real!!!!!!!!!

I am lucky in my street, neighbours help one another and will bring bins in for you if they notice them still out in the middle of the day. I also reciprocate when I am leaving during the day and my neighbours' bin is still out I take them in to help them. I am lucky that I live in a small...

Love the walk-in pantry could not do with out it. Island bench - ours is 4 metres long and has the sink in it. It works for us though. It is a real benefit with visitors able to be part of the food prep. If it had been smaller though I could see the issue of having the sink there and being in...

It all frightens me looking at all the complications of the money side of things and the lack of care in some faculties. I hope that I will not need help or care for sometime yet. All of my family have now passed away and I am the last one left - end of the line. I worry about who will watch out...

I share your pain. I am in a similar predicament with my next-door neighbour.

Enjoyed lunch here quite a few times. Had a lovely feel and great views. It is a shame that a simple lunch, coffee and chat with a view is going to be relegated to the bottom floor. It is becoming any where with a pleasant view and great atmosphere is being phased out to high end affordability.

Our neighbours have completely taken over our front. They have a boat and a number of cars so always use the front of ours for their cars. We have only two cars and use our garage so they believe that we do not need the parking outside and they do. Our visitors have to park in the next street...

There is a fee for everything today. We are so controlled by banks, who make huge profits and the big companies with their additional charges. The notion of customer service and provision of a service has been over taken by profit, profit, profit, and greed. I wish sometimes for the simpler life...
