Hey Big Bubble,
"What's Happening?!"... trying to sneak out without telling us as usual? Lots of stories have to be retold... Looks like you won't be able to stand there and say "Bullshit" this time.😜
Half my vocabulary is full of your sayings, that just come out... Most of the time when I am 'in the shit' (You got me in
that enough), or when I am having to deal with some "Turkey" in my life. I would like to list them ALL here, but they
could still come and arrest me for some of them.
A great life well lived, and sooo many memories. Thanks for ALL the good times, and loaning me your driver's licence
in the pub, ALL those times, before I was 21.
Wherever you are, give 'em hell.
Little Bubble😍 (Mike Blair)

Thinking of you today,
Such a wonderful clever chap, thankyou Vaughan for saving our old tractor,
wish we could've done as good a job on you, for the handrails for John 🙏🏻, and the big shed,
you and Cobie such magic together.
Fly high Vaughn, 💫🌟🌠 with your furry companions 🐺, you were a good bugga 💖💖💖
