I said that I’d already told you all about myself. She said that was after you read the book, [that’s if you bought it]. Now I don’t know what to say.I just thought of something that I can tell you.I have done a lot of things in my life. I’ve picked up spuds,[potatoes] from a young age, carted wood, milked cows, went to school on a mongrel of a bus, and, thankfully, left school.Then, I picked up more spuds, drove tractors, worked in a furniture store, went roustabouting in the shearing sheds, worked at the steelworks in Wollongong, nearly died, became an overhead crane driver, sold pots and pans, [door to door], sold life insurance, cars, batteries, conducted opportunity, and business training meetings at a venue in Crows Nest, Sydney, in front of three hundred people,and lived on luck.Then, I was a fencer, spud picker, day worker, contract fencer, big gun shearer; they wrote a song about me. I won’t tell you the words. It starts with, ‘I’m the big gun shearer from the ......., I shear sheep all day long”.Then it all went to pieces, and I had to tell you about it.I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.It’s not what you might expect.And, I have rave reviews about my book.Ruby C.[Post Script’]: I didn’t mention that I’m a writer. I love to write. It’s the only thing that takes over my thinking to the exclusion of all else.Rc.показать меньше
