Wunderbar Part 1 (Vol.6, 1983)
This is Part 1 of a mega recording sesh.
First we have an old person catch up (all things health including mum's knee and her new laser acupuncture appointments) and then it's into the reading. We're back to aerobics and something called 'lurex' in terms of exercise wear. Fom the internet: 'Lurex® is the registered trademark name for a type of yarn or woven fabric that incorporates metallic fibers. It is typically made by vaporizing a layer of metal (like aluminum, silver, or gold) onto synthetic plastic films, which are then cut into ultra-thin threads.' Well that sounds scary.
Mum's reading throug a VUAC book (listing the uni courses, we think it stands for Victorian University (we get that bit right and then go off piste), it's Admissions Committee, not whatever we say. She wants to apply for a few courses including photography and journalism. Not letting a little thing like the theft of her Canon keeping her down for long!
Along with all that she's still working at Leader and keeping irregular hours. She buys the Superlash mascara. Patrick rings and she writes 'he was a cutie'. WOAH.
There's more nachos (naturellement, mon ami), then a visit to Patrick's place and in the notes here: 'Music sting' haha. They're leaving notes for each other all over the place it seems, including on cars. I tell mum about the 'fixing spray' trick in dating but it seems like 1983 mum doesn't need my tips: there's the delivery of a single red rose and a card saying TIME IS FREE. A first date, to Apocalypse Now (such a boy movie, I try not to chortle) and the reading of a book 'Patrick lent me' : a Jim Morrison bio.
What fascinates me is the almost immediate integration of family and friends. Like there's no waiting for months, no real 'dating' as we think of it now. Just lots of kebabs and beer takeaways and driving around. But it's cute!
Listen in a fortnight for Part 2 where it gets really interesting! It's romantic! I cry!
ENJOY.
As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.
