  1. Willie, I deleted your duplicated post for you.

     

    I guess you could say I'm lucky. My son, aged 49, and my 43 year old daughter live with me, always have, and with the afforesaid GP's letter, my daughter is my carer and collects the carer's pension, although at times I think I am the carer.

  2. When I was about 6yo, we lived on a farm near the junction of a small creek and a river.

     

    One day, Dad said to me, "Get that kerosine tin from the back of the house and bring it around here."

     

    As I lifted the tin, a tiger snake slid from under it, between my legs, and disappeared into the long grass. Dad looked for it but couldn't find it. On another occasion, one was found on the bricks laid at the bottom of the back steps. Our Dutch migrant farm hand killed it. This would have been around the late forties or early fifties.
