Do you feel lucky?
Lucky to be in Australia, yes. Lucky in health, no.
being here is a double edged sword
more than likely our parents chose to come here because it is far away from their war torn country, which is good, also, nothing here worth over
and the fact that it's far away is not great, I miss europe and america
My ancestors reasons were:
I'm going to have to fill my van with petrol today, so not particularly.
Still lucky it's not next week I reckon.
The last holdout servos finally went above $2/l today. I topped up at $1.49 last week. Is this even real?
I'm definitely glad I bought the van last year, it uses almost half the amount of fuel as the old car did.
