My third child was also born in 1967 during a heatwave.  He was about 18 months old before we had some heavy rain.

Good onya Grandmoon--im not that close yet-

Morning all and talking about heatwaves my son was born in winter of 79 in Brissie...........but never got once into winter gear........was so hot in august that walking with him in the pram to stones corner my shoes of my feet were sticking to the tar on the road no air con then either used to put wet sheets pegged to the outside of the cot and put a fan on them  and keep wetting them through the day/night

In the middle and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for some renos........anyone want to help:)

Remembering when the butcher used to give you the soup bones for free.

Wish they still did moon, now I have to pay for the dog's bones and they are not cheap 😞

Apparently there was a day in Sydney when my mother was expecting me they called Black Wednesday... it reached to 40˚ and my father did a wise thing, dropped my mother off at the picture theatre that was air conditioned and picked her up at the end of the day.

I don't know what film she saw but I think she was happy to sit there and let the scenes roll by :^O

I remember when we could buy 10 lamb shanks for $1, and now look at the price of them.

Remember having to make sure the seams on your stockings were straight  ??

Did you ever draw the seams on your legs with eye brow pencil ??

Hahhaaa no I didn't moon, but I knew any number of girls who did... I prefered stockings to bare feet in shoes.

I do remember, when really with no money at all I sent the kids down to the butchers with $2 to buy cutlets... we could get enough to feed 8 for two nights 🙂
