These three boxes contain the memories I chose to keep when my parents sold their house 7 years ago. Going through them to see if I can let anything go.... #wishmeluck Image

Patrick Kavanagh essay, written at 15. Was obsessed with the man . No idea why I included a cover page with a map. 🤣 Also not sure if that’s an A minus or an A hyphen. ImageImage

The accusations of lefties tearing Maria Steen down for being a conservative woman with traditional values is all getting a bit dull. As are the cries of "misogyny!" over slagging off a handbag worth an annual salary. Supporting women to stay at home to raise their children is...
...important. I pretty much quit my career to raise my son (or at least had to make difficult choices that prioritised him at the expense of work). But Maria no doubt has cleaners, home help and is buffered by money – be it earned and/or inherited. No one is knocking this, but...
...she doesn’t live in the real world, and her anachronistic views about “family” are not based in in today’s reality. I volunteer with some local people around the inner city, and I can tell you, the stark reality of many single parents (99.9% mums), is a very different world...

A thread: Getting a lot of messages about censorship of certain social media accounts and websites, how “dangerous” this is for freedom of speech & how we all need to make up our own minds. Sigh. When I was a kid (pre-internet), my parents bought us a set of encyclopedia books
It was a big deal to have them, they were expensive, paid for month by month, but meant we didn’t have to trot off to the library every time we needed information on something. Our friends would come over to use them too, you’d get a call from someone who had to do a project on
Egypt (usually by tomorrow) & they’d pop over to plagiarise the section on Pharaohs and pyramids and we’d crack out the biscuit tin. I remember the scandal when Britannica had to admit to an occasional typo or date error in any of their books – they were so well fact-checked that

You know you’re getting old when you look through the Zara website and instead of coveting the clothes, you want to buy the models a sandwich. Jaysus but they’re very thin*.

Just put on Babe for Tom and I... 5 mins in and I’d forgotten how devastating it is. 😢 Image

Late to the party here, but how is everyone my age (and their kids) not talking about @CobraKaiSeries ? (Or maybe they are but I don’t have enough friends). It’s fabulous!! 🐍
Also @WilliamZabka and @ralphmacchio both look like someone in make up has just aged them up slightly. The premise wouldn’t have worked for many other 80’s stars.
As an aside, like 75% of my generation, I took up karate after seeing the movie. I’ve always been a bit of a lightweight. First lesson and I asked could I go to the loo midway. Sensei said “Sure! Take your time!” I thought that was nice til I realised it was sarcasm. When I...
