Photo a Day Challenge - 4.12.2022 - I held this.

About 1964 at Wollogorang where I'm holding an adorable Poddy Lamb, who had lost her mother and needed bottle feeding, what a beautiful black colour she is when her mother most definitely would have had white wool.

 The shearing shed at Wollogorang is looking very rough, I hope it will be saved, it must be more than 150 years old.

 How lucky are we eh!  We met on a Sheep Station way back in 1964 and we are still besties! 
What a bit of luck that was all those years ago and who would have thunk it way back then!
 Below at Newport not long before David sailed off to England... and the rest is History.

Photo a Day Challenge - 16.4.2020 - Month of Gratitude.

Very Grateful for so many lovely memories of my first-cousin-once-removed Sue Watson.  Sue was only 4 years older than I was, here we are at Wollogorang.  Sue tried to teach me good manners something she learnt from her schools we think... one of these 'manners' still gets a laugh in our family whenever we are together.
When at the dinner table enjoying your meal and you would like some salt, or pepper, or whatever and it is out of your reach you must never say...  'I want the salt', or 'Pass the salt'... one must say naming the person it is closest to... 'Peter, would you like the Salt?'  to which Peter should reply... 'No thank you Pennie, but would you?'   our grandkids love this particular 'Good Manner'  šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒ

Sue passed away earlier this year... ā¤ļø R.I.P Sue.

I'm a weirdo, always have been and here's a story I wrote that proves it.


A fear of Hard Boiled Eggs.

I canā€™t stand hard boiled eggs, they give me the shivers and shudders and the smell of them makes me want to dry retch, egg sandwichesā€¦ oh no, canā€™t go there.  

Iā€™ve lived with this fear all my life and never thought too much about it but the other night I was watching the Graham Norton Show with Richard E Grant as a guest, then when Graham asked him about his fear I was so relieved and happy to hear it was the same as mineā€¦ Richard E Grant has a Fear of Hard Boiled Eggs!    Iā€™ve just done a Google search and we arenā€™t the only ones.  Kate Humble is out there about it as are others.

I enjoy eggs, I like mine nice and soft, I can eat the white of a Hard Boiled Egg but never the yolk. 

Then I remembered a moment from when I was a young teen, I was staying at Wollogorang, at the home of my Great Aunt Cranky and Great Uncle John.  I was down to Breakfast first and from the Buffet I chose what I thought was a ā€˜Dippyā€™ egg, but no it was notā€¦ I hurriedly took that hard yolk out of the white and put it into the little coal fire stove behind me, then ate the white, not long after this Uncle John came into the Dining Room, said a gruff ā€˜morningā€™ and before choosing his breakfast went straight to the stove opening it to check if there was enough coalā€¦ he stopped, he looked harder then he looked at me, looked at that yolk again then at meā€¦ I just grinned a little, John just Aaahhhhedā€¦  How embarrassing but nothing was ever said.
