@tonys I went to 4 venues within 2 blocks. No one had the Tillies on the screen. So came back to the apartment. Soccer is on Channel 10. 0-0 no one has scored.
I have no idea about my future long term.
I’m 60 now, so maybe I got 20 years left 🤷🏼♀️
Get on the State Housing list - got to get out of here. Hate living alone.
I want to build my own furniture. I got skills.
I can imagine how much fun backpackers had on your farm - sounds like a hoot.
So what did you do to yourself to wind up in hospital? - You don’t have to tell me.
Still Nil all.

Hey @Glisten Mate I'm sorry. Was hoping you'd raise dust, level the town, get arrested , and regale us with your adventures over a coffee. Doesn't matter, your back safe and always tomorrow.
No its OK. No secrets, and I bartered my ego for map of the clouds long ago. Mate I got burned in a fire long ago when I lived on the streets it Melbourne. Healed on its own mostly, but in the process an unusual large growth on my back set up shop unchecked. About the size of a toaster. Non malignant. Basically just your average 6 ft 7 inch, garden variety, hunchback. Well After all these years some surgeons rose to the challenge. Freed up my arm and removed , said hump.
Few minor hiccups on the way but now its a whole new me. Lot of Physio to come, Maybe a touch up with the angle grinder, but its one less disability to contend with.
Now... what do we do with you... Lets think. Well my first suggestion to anyone is get a wiz bang or a combi van, and go west. There are thousands of single woman travelling around Australia, driving sugar cain trains, wheat trucks, tractors. piking this n dicing that. They hook up together, Travel in groups and mate. . . . they have a ball and really live. Oh , your 60 you say. well google
the CMCA Australia, and then look for the solo's club. Mate I have partied and travelled with them and lucky to have survived em. Just an Idea. Don't right it off just yet. I had pickers that where over 65. I travelled with disabilities. You can do anything mate. You have the fire in you, I see it brighter than the sun... Sleep on it my friend. Take the scenic roads in life ... tones..

Well. . . ok lets just say it looked liked I had had pinched a toddlers knapsack and liked wearing it under my shirt at side shows.. Yes , I can see it sounds a bit twilight zone. Well it, and a few other
irregularities in the control room got me the Ndis and a lot of help. . . eventually.
Don't need a toaster do you. .?
You know something.. I'll wager a doubloon that even with 8 billion people on the planet, you and I are the only 2 having this conversation. .
So . . is sleep not a bunk buddy tonight. Can tonys help with a funny farm story.. ? @Glisten
