We were talking to our ‘Irish’ son today and something he said reminded me of the time Vince was working at a farm machinery place. It was almost lunchtime and he was sitting in the forklift in the yard across the road from the...

Western Australia no longer has a huge timber industry. In its heyday, fire lookout towers were built in the tops of tall karri trees in the middle of the forests. Climbing these trees was a big tourism drawcard and many climbed...

A few weeks ago, we decided we wanted to go to Popeye's to get some chicken, but upon getting there, we had a terrible experience. The people weren't mean, but they were rude. When we arrived, a woman came in behind us who...

Bumped into an old song on YouTube today. I always liked the melody, but the song sung by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood always seemed rather odd. The story behind the song is that a man meets a woman who notices he is wearing...

Judy Evans @MarieCoyle These adults weren't at all interested in what they were supposed to be learning. It was a lose-lose situation all round.
