Donald Crowdis is Canada's oldest blogger (and a very good one, too). Olive Riley, a remarkable 107-year-old great-great-grandmother living in an aged care hostel near Sydney, Australia, has won instant fame as the oldest of the world's 68.9 million Internet bloggers. She is 12 years older than Spain's Señora Maria Amélia, the previous titleholder, and 13 years older than Donald Crowdis. "This might be the new star of the internet," Jean-François Berthet, who lives in Paris, wrote in his blog 365 Days. "Her name is Olive, she is Australian and she has a blog where with the help of Mike, she tells us of her adventures. "With 2 posts, her blog is only 4 days old and already hitting the headlines. What’s so special about this blog? Nothing. Except that Olive Riley was born two centuries ago, on October 20th, 1899. By the time of Queen Victoria. "Olive is 107. She swims. She drinks shandy (beer and lemonade). She has to wear a bell at night so her great grand children know when she wakes up and keep her from falling, but she puts a sock in the bell not to wake anyone. And Olive has a date with an Olive tree in 2010. "Isn’t life wonderful? Thank you Olive."
