Memory Lane Take 2 - January 28 update

In response to popular demand from my sentimental rellies here's 4 additional pics from our golden past





Memory Lane

Right Foot has been busily converting slides taken in the 70s to digital format for fear that this will eventually become impossible.
Here is a selection of daughters, their cousins and beaches (Narooma/Dalmeny or possibly Victor Harbor - place your bets) and a classic of RF himself in a spiffing 70s jumper

Spot the Badger genes

Our new great-nephew was born in Dubai early yesterday, 17th January. Here he is: Joshua Ethan Collins. A very fine baby indeed and another Badger baby impersonation of Edward G Robinson. Congratulations Jo and Greg.

Midsumma of the 41st crayfish and the 40th ODI

We had a brilliant weekend celebrating 41 years of wedded bliss. “Songs for nobodies”, the musical play written by Joanna Murray-Smith to showcase the talents of Bernadette Robinson was sensational: Right Foot declared it the best night he had ever spent in the theatre.

We always have a crayfish and a few oysters for our anniversary dinner with a nice bottle of wine (as opposed to the usual De Bortoli In A Box). Excellent.

This weekend was also the 40th anniversary of international 50-over cricket. People turned up to the G in reproduced retro gear. If I’d tried hard enough I could have scared up some originals. To get to the cricket from Fed Square I had to negotiate my way through the Midsumma Festival – dozens of partying good looking men (but all “What a waste!”), giant inflatable penises and lots of unusual goodies on sale.
And we won the cricket! And we caught up with Caspie and Mads. Then finished off the weekend with a very posh box of chocs.
