- "Guns of Navarone"
Side B
- "Long Shot Kick De Bucket"

Dear Ms. Davis
I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at a home Department and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.
Mrs. Harrington
hey we have had snow today too ... but I have not been pole dancing, maybe a bit of skating on slush but no pole ;-)
The pup was distraught at the state of her water bowl this morning.. 
My Michelin Man in the garden (yes he needs a good bath) was 'huh what happened?'
never leave your wellies outdoors
& wherever possible don't attempt to go to work in a blizzard!!

LOL... Mrs. Harrington tells a likely story!
And somehow, fraccy sis... I'm quite sure you were rather feisty then.
I still can't believe how much communication went on between you and Sam. Letter writing and phone calls on the same day - almost every day of the week.....
I wonder if you will be snowed in today - we've got some sun and no sign of more snow. If you do you can practice your pole dancing - are there any Poles near you? ....... and something with those wellies! ..... tsk
yes dear frac I think she protests too much lol
feisty back then ? I never thought I was but there again maybe I was ...[I am a pussy cat really but don't tell anyone;-)]
NM ~I know how intensive was the communication in the days with out a mobile ?? with out the diaries I would have had no idea !
DP ~ no snow today but how bloody cold it has been .. brr on my way to work today my thighs and bottom were frozen...
I have Albanian neighbours and no Poles .. mmm I wonder if Alba dancing has the same ring as Pole dancing???
p.s. the wellies are wasted !!!
Ah...End of Jan 1980. I had just done my mock A levels and was burrowing in for the real thing. Never did get to see the Pretenders, but how cool was Chrissie? Despite the lack of co-ordination between her arms and legs, plus the weird top lip, she was probably the one I aspired to be. Did it have a subliminal impact on me in later years, as I moved to the States?
Hi Expat Mum & welcome :-)
Yep this was my A level year too ... as you can see I was taking it all so serious ... not!! I feel such a fraud now as I am trying to encourage my Teen who is about to sit her o'levels (in old money.
Loved Chrissie (weird top lip lol) but I aspired to be Blondie....
[love your book btw had a quickie look before work this morning ... must pop back later :-)]
