Love the before and afters of your houses…shame they are so expensive to build these days…but I guess everybody “needs” 3 toilets, study, rumpus, living and formal areas these days…it just hit me the other day how adding the lattice to the verandah’s virtually turned them into another “room”…I can recall up to 4 guests happily sleeping on my mother’s verandahs…

Back in “those” days, men fainted when wearing suits to funerals conducted during the heat of the Queensland summer…it happened a couple of times out home…can’t you remember the days when suits were de rigeur? Boy you must be younger than I thought….and an Adelaide-ian, too…Those were the days when every man (but not his dawg) had no problems with what to wear…suits to everything except the back yard barbie, but one still needed a tie for them to look properly dressed…shorts and long socks with lace-up shoes…whoops but I digress…retraces steps back from Memory Lane

I am younger than you think…. hee hee hee. I recall seeing footage of men wearing suits everywhere, from mining salt on Yorke Peninsula to watching the Don bat at Adelaide Oval, the prettiest sporting ground in the world then, and now. But when I was a young lad, my Premier, a rather festive camping type showed up to work one day wearing pink shorts and his long socks and short sleeved shirt, and they were short shorts! My stars!

I do recall wearing a suit to my sister’s wedding in Adelaide in December… Lucky for us, it was a cool summers day.

I loved my garden at the old house. The photo was taken soon after the restoration and doesn’t show it all. The lady who bought it did a great job adding to it as well, but it became a rental and it’s been downhill all the way since.
I can’t really avoid seeing it because it’s just around the corner.

That…is the precise reason I had the lap band surgery. I got sick of losing the same kilos over and over. Losing weight is easy compared to keeping it off!
I know now though, I chose the right help.
I’ll never put the excess weight back on.

The workman’s cottage?

Everyone thought we were mad to buy it, but we were completely naive. No way would we take something like that on again. It would have been easier to knock it down and start again.

The inside was worse and there had actually been people living there not long before we bought it. It took a long time before we considered it habitable.

I agree, Bubba. Sometimes it is better to get rid of the original and build a new one…a sister in law of mine did almost that…hired professionals…it took nearly a year…they had to rent a unit for about 3 months…but it does look good now…they retained the essential charm plus about half of the original house…

Our mothers went to a lot of trouble, didn’t they? Photos were such precious things back then, not taken as commonly as they are now…I never bothered with formal portraits, wish I had, now…

One of my daughters had an olive oyl stain on just about every item of her clothes…no matter where she went or what she wore, she grew a stain on it…now she is in her 20’s, the stains have gone thank goodness

Yes they did and many like my parents really couldn’t afford to do it. In my case it was lucky that they did. I am the only girl out of five children and in the middle.

a bit of sibling rivalry there you think?

I don’t have any photos of me as a kid.

I was an ugly child, and images were destroyed to protect future generations.

That’s my story anyway. Mum might have kept some to laugh at, you never know! ;^)

My eldests grade 1 class, during their first week at school, were asked for a word starting with M, and then they had to try and spell it.

He came up with molecule, and made a fair attempt at spelling it. His teacher was gob smacked, but I’m afraid all thanks go to Graham Base’s Animalia. LOL

I’m a very proud parent. My children were always coming home with achievement awards and at the end of their schooling companies were calling me asking me to allow my children to work for them.. offering me jobs to give to my kids!
I never exected that all those years of just trying to make better people than myself could have such results.

To this day., I know I can trust them not to call me from a police station.

Happy dad…

Tresverd means “Three Swords” – the giant monument marking the battle of Hafrsfjord where Harald Hårfagre united the nation for the first time. The viking chieftans signalled the new peace by thrusting their swords into the ground.

Having stood beside them, I can say those swords are huge! About 6” thick, not wide, and maybe 10metres high.

No no no Collie: that would be me…that guy’s stance sure gives a new meaning to “happenstance”…he’s standing as if it (the drop) might happen….what would you fall into, I wonder? a watercourse?

are they more mountain tops or just clouds in the background, I wonder?

Sorry, you’ll have to wait until I ask one of the computer literate family members. :)

ok, but if you wave your mouse over the jpeg in your My Pictures, then it will flash up the size of the file…. Check out properties and this may tell you your dpi.

They’re about 500kb, and I can’t work out the DPI but they’re dimesions are coming up at about 1150 × 780.

The number of dots per inch is not dissimilar to pixels ;)

slides I scan at a minimum of 1200
prints or documents I generally scan at 300 unless I am printing in which case I do them at 600
