Sally chimes in... Aug 2012

what a  hilarious start forse - i can see we are going to have fun with this.
i am just testing to see if this worked, which is does. however cant post now as am about to go and walk up to the lighthouse - think i mentioned i am house-sitting at byron bay and have been really sick with the flu - so annoying as have wasted so much precious time just lying around coughing.
i'm not sure what i want to do with the finished product - obviously publish in some form but till i know how we work together i won't know if it is a story or not.
since you will be contributing, you will have right of edit of any of your posts should you not want them published.
yes - i guess PDF would be the format.
my photos are all currently stored in iPhoto on my mac.  that is the same as on my hard-drive, right, and not on a site - as you say?
however, any photos of these years would have to be scanned into iPhoto from the old habitat scrap book.

strange how only recently so many friends from so long ago have come back into my life.  have loved recent connections with jenny - she has the driest of humour -
and the rest at the reunion.  i am going to stay with teik in perth for 2 weeks while being nurse ratchett for my sister susan when she has her knee replaced in september. have also emailed lala so i can see her also - you would know she has been ill?
and as yet another strangely timed coincidence - dottie from hydra turned up.  not sure you ever met her?  she lived with us on hydra for ages, and then in athens, and was in love with padg, though she always denied that.  she looked up padgham in phone book recently, found her via steve, and has just been here in byron with her partner reminiscing like crazy.  partner is one of those po-faced lemon lipped adelaide social women - but dottie  is a champ.
so there are many people i can ask for info to add to the opus.
and am sure my brain will dredge up all sorts of forgotten adventures once stimulated.
maybe we could start with ballpark dates -
when did you arrive back in canberra from SA -
was i at school then, or working for PS or nursing?
i remember when i was living in the nursing home dating ray pollard, so maybe you didn't get back till after that?
did you go straight to uni and john's?
who were all the boys????
oz, ace, little pete, rottie, dick ellis, barry faux, ray pollard - were they all at uni? know ray was a mechanic.
were you guys in the draw for national service (nasho? how do you spell that?)
think you may have been a couple of years too young.
how long were you at john's and when did you move into elder st?
who moved in firstly and did that change over the years.
i remember
bathurst and you blokes pissing into the depression you had made by jumping on the top of the combi.  hope that wasn't my combi with the hendrix effigy on the front.
brindabella and that fabulous no shooting photo. PF: what's this mean?
the moratorium photos of you and oz.  which would indicate they must have still been running a birthday lottery for nasho.
and all the ridiculous nursing adventures which will come back to me. and jo and padg will help.
can we work this so you write on this post in a different font following comments of mine with additions from you?
i think point form will do.  it is the way i write best.
but not sure how that would work for you.

so.  we have begun.  what fun.
