The world's oldest blogger has died, aged 108.
Olive Riley wrote about her daily life in WoyWoy, Australia on
her All About Olive blog.
She also included stories about her childhood from the early
1900s.
Riley had been taken ill in her nursing home. Her last blog
entry was posted on 26 June.
She wrote, "I can't believe I've been here in this nursing home
for more than a week. How the days have flown, even though I've
been in bed most of the time. I still feel weak, and can't shake
off that bad cough.
"I've never been treated so well in all my life. The nurses
can't do enough for me. Ask them for anything, and they are only
too happy to provide it.
"Penny, who's in the next bed to mine, had a visit one day this
week from her daughter, who's a professional singer. Guess what
happened! She and I sang a happy song, as I do every day, and
before long we were joined by several nurses, who sang along too.
It was quite a concert!"
She died on 12 July. Her blog is currently down, although a
proxy blog run by a friend can be viewed
here.
