Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

When I initially read the title of this post that old Don Knotts (he played Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith TV show) movie, “The Amazing Mr. Limpet.” Just think all this time I thought a Limpet was a fish!! LOL!!

LOL. Isn’t it wonderful what you can learn when blogging. I don’t know whether these are limpets but they are holding on like limpets. I can’t get your links to work Deborah.

I’m so sorry the links don’t work. It was a funny film. Try Googling the movie title on your Google or YouTube. Sometimes links that work in America don’t work in other countries. Why I don’t know??? Maybe other countries block USA films?? Strange. Anyway I’m sure the YouTube or Netflix where you live will have the movie. Don Knotts was a great comedy talent. He will have you laughing lots! ❤ 🙂 😀

Yes I’ve found that blockage with Amazon links also. I’ll ask Mr Google. I always like a laugh. 🙂

We tried to make a soup from limpets once – not a success — probably a good thing!

Thanks for the warning – I’ll make sure not to attempt it.
