I don't know why "the hell" (oops, er sorry sorry) I am writing this story of my life; because probably nobody will believe it, but my friends (who are a motley collection of out of the ordinary crazy individuals, as opposed to my dear wife's rather "straight-laced" friends) have suggested that this account of my life could be a “best seller” (hyperbole - big word, eh!). We shall see...and keep dreaming on, “sonny boy”!
*
As my dear mother once said, “I’ve been riding the rapids of life in all my years”; so now its rather nice to be becalmed here in these calm waters. Yes, here in the haven and at the same time, the harbour of “Sleepy Hollow”, we are sheltered from the storms of life. And this is the reason why I have been able to write so prolifically. Something that I like very much and a craft that gives me great satisfaction.
*
Though I don’t know why the story of my “insignificant little life” should be so interesting as to have written a book about it. However, my dear wife, M said that it may be fascinating and inspirational to others! She also said it might HELP other people having a battle in the “game of life”..
I really don’t know about all that. I think I’m really quite an “ordinary bloke”*. Anyway, whatever the “boss” says, get done!
So here goes...
* a good and common Kiwi (New Zealand) expression
Enjoy the journey (hopefully as this "outoppie" ('Suth Effrikn eggspresshn' for old man) did recalling the memories and writing them down)
