I was not born in the town where I live and grew up in another town many miles away. I wandered like a wind blown bundle of grass, always striving for something better. It's only now that I am old do I realise I was going the wrong way. My writing springs from a collection of seeds I have gathered and stored during my life of joy, misery,success, and failure, always tempered with interest and adventure. Where I am now is, content.
I can be found as Bobbruce at www Jabbertale.com if I am not right here. I run two sites concurrently, plus a blog.
The following is the last verse from a poem by the Australian author
Henry Lawson and is relevant today as it was about 100 years ago when it was written.
The World is Full of Kindness
The world is full of kindness
If it is let alone,
And mens hearts in their blindness
Are neither ice nor stone.
In spite of all pretences,
We get it from Above;
In spite of all defences -
Red blood, kind hearts, and love.

- Hi Bob, thought I would visit your page as Dan and I were wondering where you were.
I can see you have been ill and hospitalised, so sorry to hear that. Please get well soon and good luck. Kindest regards Dan and Lu x - Hi Lu and Dan. Thank you for your concern. I did have a bad patch for a while and found hospital life not to my liking. lol. I am on the mend now, but progress is slower than I would like. Strange how pneumonia can affect one's eyesight, but since my homecoming I find I can only work on a computer for short periods at a time. Blepharitis is said to be the problem. [I think that's how it is written] It's a bugger to be getting old. Things are improving and I hope to be writing again soon. I do have a few things sitting - unfinished - in my computer.
All the best to you both and I trust you are fit and well.
Bob xx - ← Hi there Dad its been a while I hope you both are well . We had to get my father in law into a nursing home his breathing got much worse and he needed more medical care .We are fine and back home now but go up twice a day to see over him and his care. Love and hugs from Texas Pat
- Hi Patty. Glad to hear that you are AOK over there. Sad about your father in law but he's where he needs to be at the moment. Lis and I are fine over here. I am on the mend now after a bout of pneumonia requiring a rip to hospital. I hate hospitals, but when you are sick they are where you should be. I have written nothing for some time now but hope to get going again soon.
Stay well Patty and enjoy what you can from the mix that life sends your way.
Love from Dad - Its good to hear from you Dad and glad you pulled through that sickness sometimes it can be really bad . We are fine here and hanging in there .Had a bad storm last night we might get some more tonight to . God bless and keep you two safe Love Pat
- Hi Patty. I guess I'm lucky dear daughter, Many are not so fortunate. It's summer here and someone left the real heat out of it. So fasr, fingers crossed, we have not had any really hot weather, and enough rain to keep everything going in the paddocks. Very pleasant here, although other places are not so lucky. Heat wave in Perth and floods just up the road a bit from here. [Maybe 200 kilometers ] Stay well Patty and enjoy what you can. Love from Bob
- See all
