Mummsie, David, - writing that was a lot of fun, - almost as much fun as Galvo and I winding up the Septics.

Henry is that a slouch hat you are wearing?

Its a slouch hat, but I never served. My marble came up for Vietnam but they wouldn't take me. Said I was likely to have kidney problems later on. ........ they were right. I'm on dialysis, which I do myself.(Peritoneal Dialysis, if you want to look it up.) I just fit it in with whatever I'm doing.
No big deal.

Strangely enough, its almost no inconvenience at work because I can do it while driving/operating a machine without needing to stop.
I just need to be sitting down. Less convenient when I'm home, as I am at the moment because I have to stop what I'm doing (like working in the shed etc) and go sit down inside while I go through the process. I do that 5 times a day. Takes 20/25 minutes. Sounds a lot worse than it is.

So that's why you're getting so much verse out of me at the moment. As soon as I start a treatment I start writing. :lol:

Mate might be your cross to bear but we get the benefit.

Keep digging them up and we will keep reading.


Never let the truth get in the way of a good story I reckon.

G/day Henry,
Good one mate,
I noticed all the DAD Emu's are running around escorting their young off spring at the moment.
A bloke once told me he found a small nugget in an emus deposit, it's kind of put me off from cleaning nuggets in my mouth since then.

Cheers Terry
