We have just one world (Dire Straits)

Jacky, Wozza, brother Ross, Lynda and their son Scott - Feb. 8 2025

Wie geht's?

Recent visitors to Wozza's World have been my young brother and his family (minus Hayden, their eldest son). We live in different parts of NZ these days, so face to face has been rare since the last time we met up in 2016.

As the Dire Straits song Brothers In Arms says

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

That said, for the first 20ish years we lived together with our mother and father (who I felt smiling down on us during this reunion) and we were a really tight nuclear family - DulcieGrahamandtheboys.

I don't feel we've changed a lot since those days. Do any of us?Fundamentally, Ross and I are still who we were, and our interests have most definitely stayed the same since we were teenagers. We both turned out alright.

I was great to catch up with the northern most Purdys at Rush Monro's Ice Creamery in Hastings for an ice cream. Our dad was a big fan so it was a very fitting place for a reunion. Love you bro!

Love and peace - Big brother
