Hansey

For those how don't know. Allow me to introduce you to Adrian my nephew (Hansey). When he was little I used to call him Ady Boy. My little rubbery eared boy. He has very soft skin and every time we would hold hands he would get his fingernail and put it under my fingernail which was rather excruciating because I bit my fingernails and they were always really short.  He still does it to me, but now I live in Canberra I don't bite my fingernails anymore, so it doesn't hurt. This is due to two things - 1. I feel comfortable here in this environment due to not having to fight for survival everyday. Well at least that is how I found my first 44 years of life. 2. Ive bitten my nails for so long my front teeth don't meet the bottom ones so its more difficult. Not impossible but not easily achieved. Actually its a major production now, so not worth the effort and hey, Ive got better things to do like fly a kite. Darling Hansey is a FiFo worker and flys out of Perth to Port Headland on a 9/5 roster.  Im so proud of this boy. He was out on his own at 17 and managed to save $10k on apprenticeship wages and brought his house at 19. He has really good EQ and there is nothing I can hide from him, even if I wanted to. Spunk hey?
PS: His little brother Hamish does the same fingernail thing to me as well. Just incase you were wondering.
