Now up as a FREE-TO-VIEW Web-Book at....
< >
These are some of the stories collected over a lifetime of
watching, and listening to, ordinary people simply getting on with the business
of living, and being themselves, like...
Alby - who learnt to talk through a hole in his neck.
Hannah - who embraced The Beast and decided to swim to New
Zealand.
Ace - who loves two girls and wants to know if it’s okay to
kiss both of them.
Tony - who was caught doing the hanky-panky with his wife’s
half-sister.
Pam - who got even, one by one.
Bruno - who rode an old green elephant clean through a shed
wall.
Bronnie - who had one perfect day. But only one.
Sarah - who dared to ask another Home kid their story.
Mitzi - who refused to pack her husband’s suitcase.
Bert - who was sane and had the certificate to prove it.
Mozza - who fought the technology gods and won.
... and many more. And what can
I say? – I love a good story and I’m a compulsive listener. So I’ve written
down every sad, funny, poignant one you’ve ever told me. Which is just as well,

kept rattling around in there and finished up in the coffin with you at day’s
end and the world would’ve been much the poorer for it.
