Launceston is terrible for woodsmoke as it will often hang around for days. Evidently it’s because we’re in a valley, and due to weather conditions, the smoke just hangs about. We have had wood heaters before, but once we moved into Launceston, it became hard to buy suitable wood, every time we...

McDonald’s is moving into my suburb also. It doesn’t interest me but will put extra traffic onto a very busy road. People complained about opening hours, noise, overflowing rubbish, but it was overruled of course. It was going to open for 24 hours, 7 days a week but the opening hours have been...

I once heard of someone who had his car clamped so he removed the offending wheel, replaced it with the spare from his boot, and drove away. Apparently it was cheaper to purchase a new wheel than pay the fine.

Happy birthday Deidre. Hope that your day is going well.

Happy birthday June, hope that you’re having an amazing day

Happy birthday Sandy. Have a wonderful day. It’s my only son’s 44th birthday today as well.

Happy birthday, hope you have a really wonderful day. It’s my sons birthday today also.

I’m just giggling into my morning coffee and wondering how on earth Ive managed to find restaurants, have a packed wardrobe and do my makeup all without having ever observed a hard working influencer. I really can’t imagine how we amazing older ladies have managed to get so far in life without...

Happy birthday Veggiepatch. Hope you’re celebrating today. Just remembered, don’t race horses have their birthday today as well. 🎂🎂🎂

Good on you etphhome, I simply can’t believe the way some people behave.

It could be worse darrellh, you could live in Tasmania where people are left in hospital for ages. There are long waiting lists for aged care, including people with dementia who need to be in a secure area, but the state will most likely have a brand new stadium with a roof. That’s much more...

Unfortunately driving safely is an issue for each of us, but elderly people can experience more health related problems than younger ones. Mobility problems, slowing reflexes etc. catch us all out, and even though it’s a loss of independence, it’s something that most of us have to deal with. My...

Thanks Deb. We visited Teds older brother who has frontal lobe scarring resulting in dementia like symptoms. It’s so sad as he’s deteriorating rather quickly, so it’s a bit hard to process. He gets rather excited when we visit, but it’s rather tiring as they live about 2.5 hours away. My best...

I’ve had a rather tough day today so it was uplifting to be sitting here late at night reading some good news. I loved every story, but am full of admiration for the Hobart couple helping homeless women. I saw the story on our local news & thought what an amazing thing to do. Thankyou SDC, I...

It’s not just bending down, it’s reaching up and trying to get something from the back of the shelf. I only buy whatever is on my list and only get extra cross when they’ve relocated it. Getting older certainly has a lot of drawbacks doesn’t it?

The evictions of permanent residents from caravan parks has started to happen in Tassie ( just across the water from Albany), as well. Maybe we need to establish parks that only cater for permanent residents so that more people aren’t sleeping on the streets.

Neither would I Observer. I’ve often wondered why people choose to settle in such places, or build or buy opposite a river, unless it’s up a very steep hill. My husband’s brother lives in an isolated area with an unreliable landline service, scratchy internet & mobile phone service and...
