Fond memories
The perks of the milk janitors, time off class to do milk janitor duties at Burwood primary school, cutting whistles from the willow tree while the teacher held the class outside and read another story (days when boys were allowed pocket knives at school), the swimming pool not reeking of chlorine, the flag raising ceremony in the mornings before we all trooped inside to classes, ah we were blessed, they were mostly good days. Bull Rush, and rounders, the cricket stump with a piece of bike tube rubber holding the tennis ball so as those not too proficient with a bat had a good opportunity to take a swing and run and hope for a home run. The wednesday bus trip to the Normal school for cooking and woodwork lessons (well there was segregation but not as we now NO it.)
And when we got home we could use the milk bottle tops to make pom poms and provide our own entertainment. Ah yes I remember them well.
Here's Tuesday's teaser!
