The Weekly Friday Feast

[MDT]

Welcome @soul
Good evening to you

[eth]

Age 6 to 11  in PNG (formative years) @Former-Member and 3 different periods in the NT totalling 19 years.  They say you're a local there if you were there in cyclone Tracy - I was.   

Living in PNG was amazing.  My dad was in indigenous education and travelled a lot to remote areas both in PNG and NT.  I went with him a lot.  There would usually be a ceremony to open a new school where he was making a speech and I would be cared for by a local family.  Dressed by them and joined in the local celebratory dances.  These experiences have totally influenced who I've become as an adult.

Sounds like you had an amazing childhood @eth. 

I love Blue Planet docos @MDT

I actually laughed out loud at that joke @MDT - good one!

Good evening @soul! That is lovely to hear you had a great time connecting with old friends and hop to do it more often.

Hi @soul

Ha ha @MDT 

[soul]

Has anyone read the book "Angela's Ashes?" I was blown away by the poverty the family endured in that story. It was set in Ireland.

Yup @soul and there is a movie and a sequel Tis.

the mum took it personally ... because somehow it seemed as if he was parodying her ... but he may not have ... but a lot of it seemed close to a lot of other stuff I have seen and heard about .. and what actually adds up.  

Yay I found a pic which has tulips and a shamrock ... purrrrfect for mwah.

Happy Weekly Friday Feast.
