We often visit Devonport, lunch at Molly Malones then wander around the Mall. Love the bookstore there. We won’t mention the Spirit debacle 😂😂

That is absolutely horrible but thanks for the explanation.

What is a glue trap deni? Neither my husband or myself have heard of them, not that we ever need use animal traps.

Most of my packages are delivered by Aus Post with the occasional one by Startrak. They both work out of the same building in Launceston & take parcels to the PO if we’re out. Doesn’t make sense does it? I dread when I notice that something is coming with Aramax as it’s likely to end up anywhere.

I hope it reaches Tasmania before my cataracts need removing.

I had long hair for years when I was young but had a layered bob from the late 90,s & then grew it again during lockdown. I had several cms. chopped off a couple of months ago & now I’m not sure what to do with it. It will be so much cooler put up during our stay in Perth but I’ll sleep on it &...

I did as well.

This is something that annoys me as well. Why can’t victims of crime, or involved in road accidents just be referred to as a male or female instead of grandparents. Wonder how they would describe people like me, old grumpy woman, maybe. Grandmother doesn’t apply.

I’m curious, why do so many of you need to constantly visit banks? I shop online a lot but we withdraw cash from the supermarket or an ATM. Of course I realise that it’s easier when you reside in a city & that it must be a nightmare for country people. My late parents lived in rural Tassie &...

I just wish that they could do better ID. photos. Mine is horrible & doesn’t expire for another 2 years. 🥲

You’re lucky you didn’t need a puffer jacket. My son still remembers driving from Launceston to Hobart in January & it was snowing. He did a video call back to the staff in the office back in Perth & they simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing, except for the one who grew up in Ballarat...

This has happened to my son in WA. Since the pandemic lockdown etc he’s mainly worked from home & his office faces his driveway so he’s actually seen the driver shove the card in his letterbox instead of walking down the driveway. Fortunately the PO is just across the road. It’s becoming a...

You know those ‘we use cookie” announcements that pop up on some websites? Definitely should be binned. That’s why we aussies call the sometimes edibles things biscuits.

My packing is improving. I used to travel to Perth with a suitcase about a kilo under the limit and have reduced this to about 15 kilos. I still take too much considering we stay with our son & can launder stuff easily. This year I’ve already had Priceline deliver toiletries, skin care needs...

I totally agree with you but if you don’t like the clothes complain to management & demand changes while refusing to purchase. Why do younger woman go online to complain about everything? Maybe we should all start, there would be no room for the younger generation if all the seniors started.

The one advantage of being older is that most of us are aware that any lifestyle is hard to maintain & that the way things are presented is not entirely accurate. I shake my head at a lot of stuff that I read online & have been known to have a hearty laugh. Maybe it’s because I’ve rarely envied...

Well of course she must have had a mental impairment which makes everything alright! What about the impairment of the poor souls she was trusted to care for? I would have locked her up for a very long time. My dear friend has Dementia & is very vulnerable but her husband takes care of everything...

I have also wondered about this but a friend witnessed, while waiting at Service Tas, a man inputting the answers for his wife who couldn’t understand written English. We were all appalled. My sister in law was telling me about her husband’s cousin who was teaching his girlfriend to drive, but...

We have amazing people delivering where I live. They are contracted to Australia Post & arrive in a plain white van but they are happy, cheerful & love a little chat. They happily deliver to my back door & put parcels out of sight on my back door step. They are aware that we collect our...

I was reading a newspaper article a little while ago where someone suggested that we ought to have a Reserve Bank issued credit card with reduced interest rates & minimal charges and keep profits in Australia. I hadn’t thought too much about the operation of credit cards but apparently they’re...
