I had a lucky childhood; lucky I had beautiful parents and sisters. We lived simply and never craved any sort of richness. I thought everyone was as poor as we were.

I don't know of any place that would take your husband's medical equipment. I think once it's been used it has to be destroyed due to health reasons. In hospitals you see nurses putting used equipment straight into the bins.

The Nun's bamboo stick being hit over our hands in the middle of winter, and around the calves. I never forgave them.

A friend of mine's son went with a football team to an Asian country, can't remember which one, but the young boys would say to the footballers, "Hey Aussie, you like jiggy jiggy with my sister"? They'd never heard that expression before.

Someone tried to hack into my account, many years ago, and I immediately rang my bank who froze my account while they investigated. They gave me a secret password to my account details. Unfortunately, they froze my credit card, and I couldn't get any money out, luckily my son came to my rescue...

I was starting to get a little worried because of my lack of sleep, probably due to daylight savings. I went to my local chemist shop and asked the attendant if there was something I could take, I didn't want sleeping tablets. He produced Bioglan Active Magnesium PM. It's a high strength citrus...

I remember that sentence about "The Quick Brown Fox", although I taught myself to type .

I've heard of professional bloggers but never follow anyone. What I can't get my head around is professional Influencers. I don't think I could be influenced by these people who just want to put themselves up on screen and show off, in my opinion.

I guess I'm lucky because I have good genes. I still feel like I'm 50 ish. I've been through some health problems and come out on the good side. People say I don't look in my 80's , so I suppose that's a plus. I accept old age but still feel I'm not there yet.

I don't need to start up a new relationship after being a widow some 16 years now. I sometimes, whilst lying in bed at night unable to get some sleep, I do think about old flames and wonder if they could still be alive and if we did hitch up how would it have turned out.

We only had Snakes & Ladders board game and card games.

I do like to watch the New Zealand football teams doing the Haka before a game. They look so ferocious.

My parents, eldest sister and I were born in India from Irish and Scottish ancestors. We came to Australia just after the War and after 15 years my father decided for all of us to get Australian citizenship, which we did. . I must say I have never felt Australian or look Indian and a girlfriend...

My son was painting at a retirement village when he recognised one of the patients who is now in an Alzheimer ward. He went up to her and started humming "La Vie En Rose" and she started singing it in French. She used to be on stage many years ago, he recorded her singing and sent me the film...
