Hi Ben, We had a Dick Smith too! With weird buttons?
maso - cool machine! Our C64 was probably a cut above yours. It had a disc drive rather than a tape thingy. We had neat games like Impossible Mission and Back to the Future.
If you put the disc in mid morning, the game had usually loaded by lunch time. Great training in planning ahead.
We also had a program called GEOS which was like a prehistoric windows.

Simone- Wow an out of blog experience. They are exciting and scary. Hope it was good.
Soph- Yum I'd like to try that chicken. I don't remember those toys, but it reminds me of a toy I had called a 'popple'.
Mark- You don't know gelato? It's good stuff. I'm not sure how it differs from ice cream, but somehow it does.
Pedro- Mate, I'd definately agree with those three things you said about yourself. That's you all over.
Christine- Hey you mentioned a popple! Glad I wasn't the only one with one ofthose. And you said rum and raisin too. Kindred spirit!
Maso- I'm sensing a general blase attitude in these comments towards gelato. This hurts. Oh yeah, I'd definitely put my bike up there as a fav childhood toy aswell. Oh the adventures we had, my bike and me.
Georgina- That was maso talking about the computer.. I have no idea about such things! I'm curious, who looks after your ferrets while your away? Must they resort to hunting and gathering?
Lu- I hope your number 9 answer comes true. what kind of toy was 'Merlin'?

Hi Ben, My flatmate looks in when I'm not around. Ferrets are the easiest pet - they need cleaning out the litter tray every few days and then you can leave their food and water out. So they're simple to care for.
And if she's away, then I pay one of my friends who actually like my ferrets to come around once a day to check on them.

Nathan- Nothing like shoes made by a camera company.
I don't have an ipod. What's a genius playlist- sounds cool..
Amy- Oh yeah, my precious tin of Derwents.. Me too! Nobody could touch them. I was so careful with them that I sharpened them with a blade, because I thought a sharpener would waste them! O.C.D...
Laetitia- Yeah I craved the freedom to bang in nails, but found that when we got our unit it just became another thing to procrastinate over! It took several years to finally put up a couple of hooks.
Chris L- Oh man, I had that awesome six million dllar man too! He was a hand me down, so was a bit busted. But I remember the little eye you could look through and the opening/closing hand. Also I had the evil one, where you could replace the faces and stuff. So good.
Sophg- E likes Paul Dempsey. She liked Something For Kate more I think though. I have an issue with his voice though, and can't really take him. To each his own!
Georgina-'Ferrets are the easiest pet - they need cleaning out the litter tray every few days'
Not easy enough for me! Any pet that requires I handle their, um, waste, is in my too hard basket!
Ben,
I'm so with you on Paul Dempsey's voice.
Maso,
I see your measly Dick Smith wizard and raise it a Vic 20.
My dad literally wrote the book on Vic 20s. It was then plagiarised by the computer editor of the SMH and a sideline career in computer game reviewing was born in lieu of a lawsuit.
1. doll called 'Alice' - threw her out just before 'E' was born.... oops!
2. can't remember
3. chocolate
4. bear feet
5. disney music in the car this morning

9. We took all the kids to see 'Up' today; the boys are being taken out to do fun things and be photographed for a magazine tomorrow, and we're going on a weekend away this weekend - a lot of things to look forward to
10. kind, loving and sincere/truthful.
Ben says: "Not easy enough for me! Any pet that requires I handle their, um, waste, is in my too hard basket"
I say, um, nappies? Hello? :p

@Ben - On Derwents...
Must be an arty thing. At least you used yours to sharpen them - I currently have about 8 tins of the different types which I am too OCD to actually use (defile?) in any way...
Ruth- It's a shame that you parted with Alice. I guess you figured all those boys weren't realy appreciating her! E kept a doll called Trixie (who looks suspiciously to me like Chucky) that little e has apprehended. Gotta say, Trixie could do with a wash..
Georgina- That's a fair point! But if they weren't my offspring I would not set foot near a dirty nappy.
Amy- Heh, that's funny. After all these years mine are pretty much untouched as well. I dread the day when my kids will ask to use them. Imagine with what reckless abandon they would handle them. Heartbreaking.
Hi Ben,
Yes indeed. I do love my ferrets though! Not as much as a child, but there is love there :)
Ha - I just realised I wrote 'bear feet' - I meant bare feet!
Yeah, AB thought Alice has past her prime as far as dolls look..perhaps it was the haircut I gave her when I was a girl... but I had to - she had split ends!
I liked the mental picture 'bear feet' conjured!
Yeah, I gave my soft toy dog a haircut once, with a razor. I was saddened when it didn't grow back. He was never quite the same..
