Retired in Brisbane Australia

[Mango Chutney]

I am retired and I live in Brisbane Australia.

I have done a lot of things, more things than the average punter but now I am 78, so all I do now is play Lawn Bowls 3 days per week and mess around on the computer talking to my artist friends on Facebook.

My latest "caper" has been writing yarns in Free Verse - I call it Yarnetry (yarns and poetry). I am trying for 50 in my Yarnetry series and to find them please click on this link. Your comments will be appreciated. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wsxcO5AYv72gVcNCBAMykveRu6xd68oj9YHg6AhFC1Q/edit?usp=sharing

I read some of your Yarnetry. You're good!
I like that you're a creative thinker and artist.
I can tell we'll enjoy having you around. Have fun!
C'mon in, the water's fine

Thanks Lara for the encouragement I have only been doing these free Verse for a few weeks but I got on a roll so now my aim is to write 50. I do Chinese Ink art with a calligraphy brush so I should do some illustrations and make them into a coffee table book but not for publication. When I have a shower I put the plug in so these critters cannot come up the plug hole and get me. It is great to meet you.

LOL, I'm not sure, but I am sure that mango is my very favorite fruit!

 

[Lara]

Mango, I can't believe you wrote all those in only a few weeks. You have a special gift and how nice that you are using it. I'll be going back to read more.

 

[Lara]

Mango, Radish Rose is really special. You'll enjoy her friendship for sure!

Hi Mango, from someone currently in the Sydney lockdown.
Love the username. Green's Mango Chutney is a staple food in our house.

Read some of your stuff Mango Chutney and find you very entertaining. Keep it up . Love the hot variety of the condiment too and use both green mangoes and half ripe mangoes and masses of chillis. Welcome from a new arrival !
