An "Ask Auntie Lowan" Digression.

Why thank you, hope Margo likes it. So is she 21 again ?

Almost certainly.

knowing our Margo she'll be having a curry somewhere.

And giving some, if I know my onions...

er, I'll bite. what's "giving curry"?

Pueo - I'll remember an owl who wouldn't have a drink with me

My birthday lunch was pretty cool - oysters and duck - but curryless. We went to a restaurant, not far from home, set over the water on the western reaches of Sydney Harbour, but enclosed with clear plastic thingies. It's lovely there, even though the rain was bucketing down so much that you could hardly see the opposite shore, and the wind was fierce.

Possum gave me my usual 4.30am wake up claw in the ear! And I have been very well behaved, so far! But, away for a few days from today! Yeee-haaa!

Any advices on extravagances that don't cost any more than $40.40!

Giving curry means giving someone a piece of your mind, or trouble generally.

Hope you enjoyed it Margo!

That cat shoulda been locked in a soundproof room and you shoulda had a lie-in!

A $40 makeover with a 40 cent tip ?

Sorry? Not sure what that means!

it sure does sound like somethin', don't it?

Friends never have to say sorry-they just smile

Nobody has to say they're sorry. If they had to, it wouldn't mean anything.

yes, but does ANYTHING mean anything?

huh ?
