[Dame Tanya]

G'day​

Hello everyone, well as an introduction I will remain succinct.
I am 61, a mother of 3 entitled adults, and grandmother of 5 troubled grandkids, and I live very alone. I've had 3 fully dysfunctional marriages.
I use a wheelchair and it is red.
I write, paint, garden, and have been confined to quarters for the duration of this pandemic.
I live 500 metres from inner-city Adelaide and I grew up in the country in SA. I have travelled in the past, I've been doing genealogy for over 18 years and I've dug up some skeletons!
Apparently, I am, happy, funny, kind, sweet, generous, open minded, and a pacifist. Oh, and eccentric and weird. I want to go grey to show my wisdom but not yet, nature's cruel. That is not just my good side that is my only side; I could only afford one, I live in ongoing financial poverty.
I look forward to meeting others in this forum. Apparently, I am a spring chicken but I remember when we had no electricity, no flushing toilet, a radio for entertainment, and cooked on wood fires. Newspaper ripped into squares, hung on a string, looped over a nail has given me a lifelong urge to contemplate and read in the loo!
I am currently studying online.
I was 'brung' up by my 2 grandmothers and a wickedly funny grandfather; who died when I was 8. My other grandfather was KIA in 1943, I never met him.
I've always related well to older people and now I am attempting to become one of them.
Thanks for your time. All the best to all of you.
