    • SHE'S HERE,
      by dezzymckenna


      Thank you all our Italian, Greek, Lebanese, East Asian and Sri Lankan friends!! For bringing us the good tucker, (food) and some mighty fine swear words too.

      My best friend at primary Nun’s school was Dominico Vespucci and he was the first real Italian I had ever met too. His front yard was all concrete and somehow they grew tomatoes out of it. His lounge room had more JMJ’s than the bloody church did (JMJ’s= Jesuses Marys and Josephs ie Santaria)       ...

      by dezzymckenna
      BACK TO MY ROOTS. After seven years in the Far East, mainly in Beautiful Bali, Lombok, Laos, Big China and some of the little ones like Macau and Hong Kong I decided to return to Australia, visit me dear old Irish Mammy and have a chat with my blank manager about his and hers excessive fees and ‘wrong’ exchange rates.
