Althea Hill from Thames Coast writes: "Born in 1892 and living for 92 years, my grandmother experienced more change in her life than anyone at any time before her. Courted in a horse and cart, she then watched on television as Neil Armstrong did his thingon the moon. But lately, I don't feel too far behind her in the need to adjust to (now almost daily) changes in my life. As an example, the following typed note appeared in our letterbox the other day: "My name is S. and I am 13 years old. For the past year I have been saving my pocket money to buy a drone (which is an overhead flying camera). I was learning to fly it in the domain last night and lost control of it. It headed over the stream and went down somewhere in the bush. If you find it in your back garden or see it in a tree please, please, please can you call me. It is white and the size of a large Frisbee". So! Making out with the wrong person on the dining table? Close your curtains folks. It's amazing what local entertainment can be viewed from the top of a pohutukawa tree."

Boyfriend: "Anything else you would like to say?"
Me: "Um, same to you?"
"Poor thing, he looked so adorable when I said that! It is still a running joke between us and whenever one of us says I love you, the other always says thanks." ( For more answers go here to quota.com...
