    I'm past retirement age, and my youngest, Hayden, is a 20yo uni student. His G/F is a trolley-dolly on an A380 (long haul) (not our National Carrier but a large one on other end of the world). She comes home for 3 days, mothers day and see him. Not sure of her parent-child relationship, but...

    Read in my Paper you blokes been getting a bit of white cold stuff. Spare a thought for us - today my thermometer hit 44C (? over 110F). Been hot since Xmas.

    Doggone it, Barneys' dead!!

    That is really sad, especially as one of his cousins is my friend. Her name is Agnes, and looks identical to Barney, and yes, I have seen the past videos of Barney, and I can honestly say she has a very similar character. When Agnes meets visitors and they say nice things to her, I know the 2...
