It’s Friday Five time.

What was…

1. …your first grade teacher’s name?

Miss van Kampen

2. …your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

I didn’t really watch Saturday morning cartoons back then.

3. …the name of your very first best friend?

Lynnette Smith. She lived across the road from me.

4. …your favorite breakfast cereal?

I think it would have been Weeties. These days it’d be muesli.

5. …your favorite thing to do after school?

Run my own radio station. It was a very lo-tech operation under our house.

What Were They Thinking?

The eighties was a strange era.

I dragged the CD “Sheep in Wolves Clothing” by Mylon LeFevre & Brokenheart out of the CD rack today. It’s pretty dusty from not being played a lot.

The music is OK, but what were they thinking when they got dressed for the photo shoot? And that hair?

The album was released around 1985 – and doesn’t it show.

Almost an Hour and a Half

Wow. The line is now fixed. I’ve been online for around one and a half hours without being dumped.

Mr Telstra Technician came today while I was at work and found a cut line about a hundred metres up the road. Apparently the wires were barely touching. Pauline let hime come in and test the lines. He put in some new cable from the junction box up the road to our house and into the roof.

Now we can talk to people on the phone without asking them to repeat what they said over the crackle. Now I can get on with blogging my journey. Brilliant.
