O'Grady Sez

I have written one post and now I write another! it's about the title of my blog. Dad wrote a book years ago, published in 1969 and titled O'Grady Sez and he had a lot to say about Australia, our language and life in general in a humorous way. Many years later I wanted to have my say in a different way, so titled my blog Sez O'Grady. Where Dad wrote with humour, I write about things and my poetry, and publish articles of events, my Church and anything else that interest me. We are father and daughter, but vastly different writers! For example, his little book has a tongue-in-the-cheek look at everything in Australia. A short piece for your perusal:

Dad by Rafty in the 1960s

Australia is a very large island. It is inhabited. The natives are known to be peculiar people, fond of beer and profanity, who speak English with a strange accent and object to criticism. Most of them live in coastal settlements and eat meat. They like very young sheep and half-cooked cattle. Their sheep and cattle are provided by scattered inland tribes who are known as 'bushies'.
You get the picture? Well, I was a 'bushie', now I'm a 'city slicker'! I don't write like that. just read this blog and see how I write. Disasters and love, poetry and adventure with articles and photographs adding to the written melee. Well sez o'grady, that's me! Good onya Dad for leading the way.
