Dear Margaret, I’m over the rellies! Don’t get me wrong, I love it when they visit but it is always nice to have our home back to ourselves! We had Auntie Martha, Uncle Conrad and their 3 children, 9, 5 and 2 stay with us for the last month. They came over from the motherland [...]

Dear Margaret, I picked up my new little pussy-cat last week! A brand new, Jaguar XKR convertible - a sports car defined by effortless power, instant response and outstanding agility. Constructed from aluminium for lightness, strength and rigidity, powered by Jaguar’s latest generation Supercharged 4.2 litre V8 306kW engine, and featuring a Sequential Shift 6-Speed transmission [...]

Dear Margaret, It was my birthday the other day! Another year older and another year wiser…I wish! My youngest, Andrew, gave me a new gadget to listen to my music on. You know that I can’t buy cassettes anymore to play in the car on my way to Bowls on Thursday. This little gadget is [...]

Dear Margaret, Talking about Green, my dear Nigel had a Green experience awhile ago. He had a bad shellfish at our favourite seafood restaurant and he hasn’t been able to look our goldfish in the eye since. I didn’t realise that someone could actually turn that particular shade of puce. And more recently when our [...]

Dear Margaret, A funny thing happened on my walk to work the other day. We’d had a terrible storm on the previous evening, with tumultuous rain and accompanying cacophonous thunder. Thankfully I had experienced little discomfort to my person from the unseasonal conditions but the effects of the tempest had left my pathway strewn with [...]

Dear Margaret,I’ve just got to share! I visited a zoo today – haven’t they changed! Lovely glass windows to look through to beautiful rooms, no more of the harsh bars and ugly concrete enclosures. And very high tech you know! They can control the temperature so the animals don’t get too hot – or too [...]

Dear Margaret, I really don’t know… the old grapevine just simply isn’t working like it used to! There was once a time where I could rely on the lovely Katherine Burns (Kb) to keep me informed of all the goings on in the district. You know, she would actually keep notes of any worthwhile news [...]

Dear Margaret, I’ve been watching The Biggest Loser and I want what they are getting, but instead I just can’t help myself. The fact is that I keep getting fed more and more and am just expected to pack it away. I’ve actually outgrown my mirror. And when they say stripes are supposed to be [...]

Dear Margaret,I’m so scared! My boss has just told me that I’ve got to go. He’s telling me that I am getting too old and complains that I’m too difficult to look after. She’s already found a replacement for me – I saw her yesterday all dressed in black (talk about high maintenance).After working here [...]
