Our school rugby kit was gold with a blue trim and from my second match I played in a murky greeny-yellow coloured kit. I had grey shirts that should have been white and grey-pink towels that once were red. My mum laundered hard!

Sadly I allowed her to wash hard my one Galaxie 500 T-shirt, bought at the show at the Subterania that still tops my best show of all time list.

I’m pretty sure the print on the front lasted no more than one or two washes…but of course I kept and loved it, and yesterday I dug it out of the attic and (gently) washed it and posed in it.

It’s still a wee bit tight so it’ll probably be a few weeks before it gets a public outing (maybe I’ll wear it to Dunfermline in July).

I’ve been rather neglectful of my blog of late – to be honest it’s never been cared for as much as it should be – instead I’ve dipped my toe into the world of Facebook notes, enjoying some of the gratification of knowing that occasionally someone might read my idle ramblings…and possibly even pass comment. If you haven’t and would like to then you can…

I’m done with that now – I’ve come home and will try and get back into the swing of writing things that no one reads.

As a bonus you also get to see Helen posing in her uniform too!

OK – this is completely random…

This is Hazel 15 years ago on the bed in our flat on Adelaide Road shortly before we moved into Studley Grange Road.

Some things never change…except the trousers.
