‘A knife loves being with a fork’ - yes, that was me nearly weeping while reading this waiting at the pharmacy. Thanks (former) Driver!

Great writing. Thank you, Driver. Isn’t Tasmania fabulous? When we visited people we told said, why you going there? It’s nothing’. Idiots.

Complete idiots. We had four nights in Hobart. Linda thinks we've 'done' Tassie but I think there's a lot more to explore.

I know you Al, and you’re a top bloke! Imposter syndrome - fiddlesticks! I know what you mean though, got a fair old chunk of it myself. But when I think that Roger, who was everything any woman could want as a life partner, chose me, I figure maybe I do some things right. Keep writing Al, you do it so well ❤️

I think you chose each other Meg, and there was probably a bit of the opposites attract…knife and fork, salt and pepper. Hope you are well.

You are very good at writing and talking to Jesse on the wireless. Your love for your fabulous wife shines throughout this piece which makes me think you are also a very good partner and an all-round decent human.

Bravo!
