She Wouldn’t Eat the Mushrooms

An Autobiography

This tome was commenced in late 2016 when, after retiring from full time work and before I had committed myself to a couple of days a week as a catechist teaching scripture to Catholic children at local state public primary schools under the auspices of St   John Bosco Parish, I found myself with time on my hands.

I honestly can’t tell you why I started it but as my ramblings emerged I thought that it could be of interest to my children to learn things about me that I’m sure they don’t know. Some of it they know of course if they were involved.

The title of this memoir may be confusing to those who aren’t aware of a story I have become infamous for relating whenever I get a responsive audience. It concerns the history of my totally non-existent first three wives and is told with a sad expression and mournful tone. The longer it takes to build suspense the better but briefly this is how it goes.

“I was married quite young and Mary and I were just 21. We had a small farm outside of Townsville and at the bottom of the paddock grew a batch of wild mushrooms. Now, I don’t eat mushrooms but Mary did and a few months after our marriage she picked a bunch and boiled them up for herself.

Within 24 hours she was dead!

Now this was long time ago and there were no such things as post mortems, so life just went on.

About three years later, I married again and this time Cynthia did the same as Mary, picking the mushrooms and boiling them up, and she suffered the same fate.

At this point some in the audience may be becoming a bit suspicious so a sob doesn’t go astray. This usually allays their fears.

Then, “My third wife died of massive head injuries!”

And in answer to the querulous looks,

“SHE WOULDN’T EAT THE MUSHROOMS”

Dinkum yet Dutch

“Every page filled with energy and wit as John shares his amazing romp through two very different childhood worlds.”

“A delightful insight on living in Sydney’s Northern Beaches area during the fifties, with beautifully managed themes throughout. I loved the characters, all really well drawn.”

“You’ll sigh and shed a tear or two, but mostly you’ll laugh out loud as Lindeman brings the fifties vividly back to life.”

“The best and worst of post-war Australia are laid bare in this enjoyable yet touching story of the struggles of a Dutch family finding their place in a strange new country.”

About the Author

John was born in Holland and arrived here in 1950 with his family when he was just two years old. This is the story of their struggle to successfully build a new home in Australia and how John’s friends, family and foes made him proud to be Dinkum, yet Dutch.

Today, John Lindeman is a leading property market analyst and commentator and has authored two landmark best-selling books, Mastering the Australian Housing Market and Unlocking the Property Market, both published by Wileys.

TITLE PAGE  (for booksellers) or DIRECT FROM THE AUTHOR (for readers)

Dave Loew was born in Kenya close by the wilds of the Serengeti Plains. His parents were Hungarian and English.

He began playing the cello at six years of age, and early lessons with the visiting international virtuoso cellist Raya Garbousova greatly inspired the young boy to ‘live the dream’ and become a fine cellist himself.

Dave Loew’s career has taken him on numerous musical journeys around the globe and on to London, where he joined the illustrious London Symphony Orchestra under André Previn and other ensembles, as well as playing for countless stars in the entertainment world. An early breakthrough into the cream of London`s elite commercial recording session camps saw him playing for such iconic artists as Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and Elaine Page, film composers John Williams, Henry Mancini and Jerry Goldsmith, as well as such pop legends as Mike Oldfi eld, Cliff Richard, Leo Sayer, Sting and David Essex, and the great divas Luciano Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland and Montserrat Caballe. He has been privileged to play for such icons as the conductors André Previn, Claudio Abbado, Karl Bohm and Mstislav Rostropovich and impresarios Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sir Cameron Mackintosh.

Oscarisms – anthology of my poetry

“Be they poignant, humorous or edgy, these poems have been collected to raise funds for a very worthy charity.”

What follows is a selection of poems Oscar wrote between the ages of 12 and 14.
They were composed usually without his parent’s knowledge and according to whatever muse, theme or style interested him at the time.

The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation would like to thank Oscar Peer for writing this book of poetry with the aim of supporting The Royal’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where he spent the first 100 days of his life. We are proud to support such an uplifting project, and hope it is the first of many successful books for this budding young author. The Newborn Intensive Care Unit is a special place that cares for the tiniest and most fragile patients in our health system. More than 600 prematurely and critically ill babies are rushed into its three hushed white rooms from all over NSW every year. There they receive world class treatment by a team of eight dedicated specialists. We could not continue providing this exceptional care without the support of people like Oscar and we commend this book to you.
