I only had one & that was enough to deal with, despite all the older women who insisted that it’s not fair to have an only child. How did you cope with the criticism?

Thank you.

What is 7up?

Was that blob on the logs to the right A possum? It’s not a clear photo to enlarge, but possums are a bit of a problem here. This is what happens when people discover a quiet area, everyone else wants to move there too so trees get removed to accommodate them. Sad but it’s happening everywhere...

I like to be left alone to read my book. Fortunately I’m usually sitting beside my husband so will chat to him but prefer peace & quiet to read. I don’t appreciate the person in front of me reclining their seat right back either, but we are both very much undisturbed by other people. We did have...

I always book a window seat & have never paid extra either. Like you I do pay for extra leg room, not because I’m tall but because I like having a bit more space. It makes a longer flight more comfortable.

I love Koalas and am a bid sad that we don’t have them in Tasmania. We aren’t permitted to have pet turtles either.

We’re the same Catherine, though we do have my brother living with us. There are so many disturbing stories about people taking others in & coming to a sticky end. We actually don’t find the house too big for us so think we’ll just stay here & have room to spread out. We have rented a couple of...

Outrageous Veggiepatch 😂😂😂

I just wondered why any woman at 66 would want another baby. I know that it’s each to their own but she’s more grandmother age than mother.

My washing takes ages some days but the washing machine has auto detergent dispensing so it’s rather difficult to control. I’ve set it to the lowest setting so I suppose I have to put up with extended rinsing.

I would love to hear the wombat story Babybird, I’m very fond of wombats especially baby ones. You are so right about the power of positivity, my husband, who lost his right eye to cancer, is a shining example. He is the most positive person I know.

Many years ago on April 1st one of our local radio announcers, who was well known for his sense of humour, informed the listeners that we were expecting sunspot showers so everyone needed to wear a raincoat & take an umbrella for protection. It was sunny & warm but people were getting around...

My neighbour is an op shop shopper so must ask her about the pricing in Tasmania. I’ve donated heaps of stuff, a lot still new with tags, at various op shops & have found Lifeline & the Adra shop to be the most excited about receiving things. I also donate to the Benevolent Society as they...

Maybe it’s a Tasmanian thing, fortunately there aren’t many deer heads on display & often in country areas.

Deer have been a problem on Tasmania roads for as long as I can remember. I’ve often seen them on country roads, especially when travelling from Fingal to Conara, ( NE Tasmania), one even leapt across the road right in front of us which was rather scary. My husband has encountered many more...

I’m amazed that our inept liberal government has done something useful, it certainly makes a very pleasant change. 😇

Maybe we should have very high fences built along our roads, keep the wildlife safe.

In the late 60’s & early 70’s I was a young hairdressing apprentice & while this woman’s comment may have been inappropriate, the things that were said to me & in my presence, were definitely eye opening. I had lived a rather sheltered life so a lot of the comments rather startled me but I...
