Hi Shaz , I do have a fur baby cat, she is lovely and I love her a lot. Her name is Cleo.and she follows me around like a shadow. She is very comforting.

As for hobbies, I love to read and when I am not feeling great settling in to a good book is an escape valve from how I'm feeling. I am grateful to be able to read as I know when you're not well with mental health issues it's difficult to concentrate and read 

I am also in the process of crocheting a rug for my daughter. It's taking me a while as I'm not always motivated but I keep going back to it and I'm getting there with it

What about you? Do you have a fur baby and do you have hobbies. Love and hugs, roses 🌹

DId not watch it back then Little brother ruled the tv shows. @TAB Ha ha they spoke better Australian than those who lived around me!  Even some chopsticks.  All the great themes: runaway child, communes, pubs and sheep.  Actually glad I watched it as it deals with ward of state stuff and I was about his age.  still putting together my life.

 @roses Hi. Good to see you.

 @Dimity  I have been thinking of doing the train.

never watched that one @Appleblossom  was ABC soap ? like in country town ?

[Appleblossom]

Yep @TAB  I just knew of its existence, but my brother did not approve.  lol

Apparently there is a movie now.  It was interesting to see the commune - farming types...

One good thing is recently the polarisation of those groups is reducing ... sometimes ...
