I Remember.....

[Tilly2]

There was a lovely article in the family section of yesterday's Guardian by The poet, Wendy Cope. It was a list of things she remembers from her childhood. Just simple, eveyday o
things which she has brought to mind. It made me smile at the end of a stressful day.

So, shall we have a go? Just start ypur post with.... I remember.

Here's mine.
I remember doing a reading test at school and recognising the word refrigerator. I was so proud of myself.

I remember, aged 2 being in London and seeing Trafalgar Sq and all the pigeons. I have a photograph of my Mother and I standing among all the birds. My face is like fizz because the birds were all so noisy and were EVERYWHERE. They were little krap machines and I had on a new coat.! !

That's a good idea Peter Pedant - I should do that in case the memories fade away.

One I remember being in my last house and I was about 13 (I know it is old enough) but can't resist telling you this.

Anyway my brother who was pretty hyper in the mornings - "didn't really want to go to work" - he went to the wee hall to lift the post - while he was doing so - my poor mother left his bowl of porridge on the settee (know that was wrong) he is reversing busy looking at the mail and sat on the porridge. God how I laughed when his *** was oozing with the gloopy porridge.

Peter - I do have so many memories and you are correct again in that one of my friends has no memory pretty much of nothing. Always had a poor memory.

When I tell her things that happened to her (she had a pretty rough ride) she is agog with amazement - and sometimes only sometimes when I mention it to her she remembers - some very sad times.

I remember going to see Bambi with my mother - aged about 5 years. When my mother looked down on me I was roaring and crying and breaking my heart - no not at the sadness of Bambi - but my new hearing aid was driving me mad and I didn't understand why it was so noisy - you know with the music etc.

Remember! Yes, I remember my Father selling my Dog Twice, that's one of a bad few.
