Thats true. Though it’s not our kids fault that life was easier. After all it’s what my Mum and no doubt yours wanted for them.
My dear old Mum turns 90 this Friday. Born in Perry St, Collingwood, one of 9 kids in a 2 bedroom workers cottage ( knocked down for public housing in the 50’s). Worked as a seamstress from 14 .. starting to seem like Monty Pythons Yorkshire skit.
She’s the reason I’m a Pie. Watching the Pies on black and white TV in Sydney in the 70’s. We went through all those losing GF’s together.
Was hoping for a flag for her this year. 😢 |
Ur Mum has it lucky .....  |
Luxury! |
The house was so small all the mice were hunchbacks.
You'd put the key in the front door and break the back window
My mum was born in 39, grew up on a farm in bush NSW.
No running water, no electricity.
Saturday night was bath time whether you needed it or not. Water was heated out back in the copper over a fire and carried to the bath in buckets, last person in the bath copped the luke warm water that 6 previous people had washed and pissed in.

Vale indeed. Sad. Part of my childhood memories: his music and As a kid seeing him in “The Dirty Dozen”.

I just heard the great Dean Jones has died in India from a heart attack. Loved watching him in full flight back in the day. He was only 59. RIP Deano.
