THE ROSANNE STORIES 1 - 6
Meet Rosanne. She’s not your average gentle geriatric, loving granny,
happy homebody or serious senior citizen. Oh no. She’s bemused,
opinionated, bewildered, perverse, not to mention a trifle wacky, and
with some rather bizarre friends as well. But her heart’s in the right
place - if she can just find it. And food is of major importance, of
course...
A few quotes from the stories -
Rosanne on Dieting : ‘“Stuff it,” Rosanne announced to the wall.’
Rosanne on Gardening : ‘“One woman walked past the other day and I
heard her say, ‘Oh God, she’ll plant roses next.’ So I straight way
went to the nursery and bought two standard Iceberg roses and put them
in pots on the deck. That shut her up.”’
Rosanne on Retirement : ‘If one was now a RETIREE, couldn’t one please
oneself whether one lived a year or two less because one ate full fat
yoghurt?’
Rosanne on Asteroids hitting the Earth : ‘She was darned if she’d let
something like a bit of space debris ruin things after all the trouble
she’d gone to getting the pension, and settling on the Gold Coast.’
Rosanne on Entertaining : ‘“Honestly, it’s a knockout and if you have it
swimming in sherry the Reading and Discussion Circle won’t know what’s
hit them. Afterwards they’ll be hysterical. Aurora Hepplethwaite’ll be
sloshed to the eyeballs.”’
Rosanne on Exercise : ‘Doris doing hip swivels looked rather like a
crazed hippo in its death throes.’
