My daughter is 37 and somehow in her education being able to do any type of maths in her head was not taught. Even now when we go shopping she will ask me what multiples of items cost or reaches for the calculator on her phone. The other thing we oldies can do is live without a mobile phone -...

The kiosk was great in Martin Place as there were not convenience stores close by then as most buildings were offices, banks etc. Many people stopped for their newspaper on the way to and from work when there was an afternoon edition newspaper which you read on the way home on the train. No...

Latest information now is that the cyclone has slowed and is not expected to cross the coast until late Friday night or early Saturday morning. We live near Brisbane so like thousands of others we are hoping and praying everyone will get through this.

We had baby health clinics too in England when I was a child and I remember Mum taking my brother who was 6 years younger than me. After the nurse did a health check we were given bottles of concentrated orange juice (yum) and cod liver oil (yuk). I can still remember the awful taste - I...

Good health and good friends/family.
