12 East Point Road, Fannie Bay

Near Darwin, Australia

25 October, 2006

Dear Emily,

How are you? Things are not too bad for me at the moment. I still have the cough that Dr Maclaren isn’t interested in and my back hurts when I sit too long. The leg problem is much better, though.

Our big excitement her recently was visitors form England. A rather pretty young girl came to the home, with no warning, and said she was my great niece. All the nurses made a big fuss(大惊小怪) of her and wanted to know who she was. She is a charming girl called Carol who is traveling around the Northern Territory with a friend( also a girl, thank heavens). They had come in the rainy season and her friend kept complaining that it was raining. Silly girl. Her name is Selina, which is a silly name, too.

Carol and Selina did all the things tourists do here. They went to Kukudu National Park and Tim Tim Falls and took the wonderful photos.

Carol was quite interested in my stories about Darwin in the old days. I lived through the bombing in World War Ⅱ, you know. I know you Londoners think London was the only place that was bombed, but it wasn’t.  And I nearly died when the wind storm hit at Christmas in the 1970s. I told Carol all about that. One of the ladies who live here had some photos of that, too. That was nice, but one woman, Mrs Apthorpe, wouldn’t leave us alone when Carol was here. We don’t get many young people here, I know, but Carol had come to see me, not Mrs Apthorpe.

Well, I must stop now. It’s time for my afternoon medicine and then I must have nap. I hope you are keeping well.
