Starting School.

 Some time during February 1986, I set foot in my first ever classroom. I don't recall the day, I don't even remember this photo being taken. I do have a vivid recolection of the bag which I have so tyylishly slung over my sholder. The bag was a black and tubeular shape. It had just enough for a little bit of lunch, a drink and not much else.



 Today was another first day at school. It was the first day back at uni after a 3 year absence. I have to say that my kindergarten class was more sympathetic towards my school uniform than the class that I had today.




HAHAHA as if I would wear that to uni. Just as we went to take the photo our neighbour was backing out of his driveway and I was worried that he would see me. So there was n way I would wear it out in public.

How things change. Mariah said "it looks so much like you." I was that about the only thing that looks similar is my knobbly knees.

The first day back was somewhat familiar, and I feel more relaxed than I did last week.

    I have just realised while looking at your picture, this was also your own hair cut Sam. Yes you cut the front yourself. that is why it looked a bit odd. A few weeks later you were to repeat the hair cut , making one side of your head completely bald. As we left to go to afternoon Kinder. I notice the cat was also nude on one side, where a little boy had also cut the cats fur off. The poor teacher thought you had had some medical procedure done! Oh BIG SIGH those were the days. XXXX

    Is that a sigh of relief that you no longer have to deal with those issues. I know know what it must have been like. After a tough day at church one Sunday, A sister that remembered me as a child said "you were just like that when you were little. Now you know what your mother had to deal with." I guess yes I do understand.

    No it is a BIGH SIGH because I miss those days very much. All the hustle and bustle of not knowing what was in store that day. You will never know how many times I wish those days back. One day you will know thought. Now when it is so routine, breakfast, lunch ,tea and bed and very little to stimulate and amuse(boring) . It is a joy to see the Grandbabies thought and be reminded. Never thought I would miss the mess and noise but I do!!!!
