the contents of my childhood...

fill 3 relatively small boxes...

Last weekend I went back to my old neighbourhood and my parents place. They've just sold their house after 40 years and so are cleaning out all the accumulated junk. Mum told me to get over here and claim anything that I want before she bins it.

It was also the 50th anniversary of my primary school last weekend as well, and as I live/d directly accross the road from it, I got to kill two birds with one stone by going down to have a look at my old school and the rooms etc as well.

The school anniversary was a blast! Even more so because they were opening the time capsule that my grad year has buried back in 1979! I knew I'd have *something* of mine in there but couldn't remember what for the life of me...

Anyway a whole bunch of my former classmates were there as well and so it became an informal reunion. There were 19 out of the original 35 of us there, so that's a pretty good proportion overall. We all recognised each other straight away and we spent the afternoon finding out what everyone's been up to, who's married or not and who has what kids etc etc. One of us is a pilot for Cathay Pacific, others are dentists, air con repair guys, nurses, teachers, one (the most unlikely in my opinion) has become a member for local government, and I discoverd that one of us (obviously not there that day) has died from a drug overdose only last year...

So they opened the time capsule and most of the material had survived the 30 years in the ground relatively intact. I found some of my school work that had been placed in there plus a photo or two of us as a class.

Back to mum and dad's which is looking pretty topsey turvey as they pack all their stuff up for the move on December 1st. I managed to claim the "Childcraft (1971 edition) encyclopedias that have always been special to me, my full set of "Famous Five" books that I was devoted to during my childhood plus some other books and about 8 of the over 150 plastic scale models that I built. (They may not last too long though... don't really have room or purpose for them now)

Like I said, after 28 out of 40 years in that house, my childhood filled 3 small boxes. :)
