Olive

Just found this newish blog, The Life of Riley starring a NSW Central Coast woman aged 107. It looks amazing and just the tonic for something different on a lazy Sunday. Here's Olive's first post, enjoy...

Good Morning everyone. My name is Olive Riley. I live in Australia near Sydney. I was born in Broken Hill on Oct. 20th 1899. Broken Hill is a mining town, far away in the centre of Australia. My Friend, Mike, has arranged this blog for me. He is doing the typing and I am telling the stories. He thinks it’s a good idea to tell what’s going on. He already made a film about me a few years back and people liked that, so they might like this blog too, he says. We’ll see...

We'll see..? Olive already has a huge readership, is ranked in the top one percentile of world blogs and is soon to appear on TV. After only thirteen posts the girl's a blog star.
