15th July 1979


what a goddess!
Sunday 15 (19 months)
Worked 10.30 - 6.45
= quite busy
Phoned Sam at 2.10 & 7.30
Me = shattered
My niece and nephew were down for the day (they are now 34 & 32 with a couple of kids each...eek!)

Had a bath & hair wash

Watched TV


When Annie Mouse stayed a couple of weeks ago, she did insist on bringing her Cliff Richard collection with her.

I was filled with dread. It is something that Annie and I agree to disagree on.... because I simply just don't 'do' Cliff. Sorry !!
I know he has talent and is popula
r but he doesn't do it for me musically or otherwise in any shape or form... & after seeing him posing in a pair of leather pants (trousers) on a calendar I bought Annie one Christmas... he does even less!!
But as I say we agree to disagree........

Anyway after a few glasses of fine white I was pleasantly surprised as I flicked through the folder.
On the back of the Cliff stuff was a wealth of 70s stuff hee hee :-D


wow a TV guide from some time in the 70s! Did ITV shut down early evening back then? What no 24/7 television?

Oh I loved Clapperboard.
It was a kids film review programme that kept you up to date what was on in the cinema. No DVDs and only the start of videos back then. If you joined a video shop you had to pay a huge membership fee, which my mum refused to do. Even when my brother brought a state of the art betamax video recorder home in the late 70s from the Middle East (it was a HUGE top loader)

Flockton Flyer ... I do sort of remember this programme now I have looked it up. It was a 2 series thing for kids about a steam train. A family struggling to open a branch railway line.
It had Patrick Mower and Gerald Harper in it at one stage
Tiswas was a dream kids programme. Custard pies, raucous humour, Spit the Dog, Lenny Henry ... superb.
Have a dabble in their web site
I love these clips as I met both of them when I was an usherette in the 70s.... Wednesday was wrestling night!




There was also Charlie's Angels. What girl then didn't want to be Farah Fawcett Majors or Jaclyn Smith
Oh I almost forgot to mention. On the front was this image (Oh I never thought Cliff would feature in my blog lol)

& just for you Annie the only Cliff song I can actually tolerate as I love the film
(what a fun adventure)
