AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A 'blue' is an argument or a verbal stoush, mostly light hearted, and immediately forgivable in Australia. Its combatants are usually known to each other e.g. family, best friends, acquaintances etc. Life goes on after the 'blue'.In this series of anecdotes, Richard Plant details in his usual humorous light-hearted way the visits he and Katie made to holidays, hospitals, even hospices, and how an occasional 'blue' can assist the appreciation or otherwise of each.He also recalls lifestyles in the late 1940s and early '50s and compares them for better or for worse with those of the early 2010s.'Life's a Blue' is another eclectic series of tales based on fact, but perhaps embellished a little (or a lot) by 'coulda-been or 'shoulda-been' endings - each story an entity within itself.'
