G'day Viv ... I hope you haven't started something here although a second language might be handy - Lindsay

Doubtful, Lindsay, I'm currently struggling to learn German and Afrikaans. I do a fluent 'drunk', though.... thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv

oh my, Viv I don't have time to read this all since it is backwards. hahaha. you need to do the forward way beneath it so we won't get discouraged!!! But I can see at the top of it, he is walking down St. Peters!! You know, I really enjoy walking backwards. I am very fast at it, and also at skipping!!!

Oh my you are very clever Mr. Viv; I also use to do this. My sister and I use to write long letters like this so no one could read what we wrote...I also say BRAVO to you. I'm so glad I stopped by for this read..... Sherri

To be honest, it gave me a headache, writing it, never mind reading it.... x Viv, irrehS, sknahT.
