Hi Bushwalker, your resilience inspires me. What a wonderful attitude......take care...Lindsay     To you Debbiev, good luck with your treatment. I hope it isn’t as dramatic as our friend Bushwalkers.🤞 ... View more

Hi Kate, Very observant. Grange is touted for its rich earthy flavour. In 1977 I started to study Oenology at Adelaide University. I lived in Nuriootpa and was a junior cadet at Penfolds. As a 20 year old, I thought Grange tasted like an April fools joke. I only lasted 11 months and packed it in, coming home to Sydney. Nuriootpa in 1977 would kill the spirit of any 20 year old.......Boring, and I didn’t speak German . ... View more

Thanks Phil, very observant and very true. I spent the longest 10 years of my life in Wagga one day.   I won’t forget the cheese. ... View more

Hi there Portly Phil, Great to see you pop up on this screen. Bad news about the Penfolds, but the car sounds good too. I haven’t tried the Pepperjack ( your namesake), but have seen it & thought I would. Now you have endorsed it Phil, I’ll give it a go. My father in law just turned 87 & has Prostate cancer, he lives in a small Snowy Mountains village & needs to go to Wagga hospital every 3 months for check ups. I usually go down & drive him to his appointment. Ill take a Pepperjack with me this time coming up, providing COVID doesn’t change things. It’s funny Phil, like you, my treatment has been postponed for six~ months due to COVID and my low immunity That’s fine & expected but the NETs team want me to have weekly blood tests, a CT or PET scan each month, until the LUTATE can be rescheduled. Seems a little odd, that’s all. Take care Phil, all the best.......Oh yes, of course cheese.🧀 ... View more

I agree. Music has been a saviour to me in this big empty house more than once.   Like Sch, no musical talent, just appreciation.......Lindsay ... View more

Hi there Sch, Bummer about your wife. You stay safe. I have my fingers crossed for you both🤞 ... View more

Thank you Sarah for your kind words.   I sit and think, in these lonely hours about Maria and I worry about young people like you. The unwavering commitment people like you , my wife and many many more put into others, at the expense of their own health is just phenomenal. Ive experienced it first hand & I read the stories on this screen and just marvel at the power of commitment.   Your husband and children are very lucky to have you Sarah. Stay healthy for them, but in particular for you. A community filled with Sarah’s and Maria’s , is a good one we all want to live in, especially me.   well wishes to you and your tribe.       ...

Well said kJ. Mums and wives alway place themselves last . We who love them recognise that. My wife was able to read my thoughts and mood, just by a meeting of our eyes. Her sister said once, how Maria always felt loved & she was. ... View more

Oh Sarah,   I didn’t mention it, but I agree completely with Sch. Don’t ever hold back on the hugs & kisses, for those kids. The four of you will remember them forever. ... View more
