In 1974 I still lived at home. I was 21 and turned 22 in August a mere 12 days before Richard. Robert was lagging behind by a couple of years. They both lived at home too. Our poor parents - becoming poorer I guess with having to keep us in food, clothing and other things.
It was my fourth year at university and I was shifting and changing direction in my studies, choosing to fail a new discipline each year although I did later excel at history, art history, and education (the theory). I should have made a go of these and got a degree although it doesn't really matter now.
Richard sailed through his Music degree and, in 1974 was adding Honours to his B.A. Well done that man - not being in 3P didn't cripple him completely.
That's all really. I just liked the cartoon that I found on Neighbourly. Carry on.

Degrees don't really mean Jack Shit at our age.
Yeah, like material possessions and birthdays.
Agreed. I've always been a collector/hoarder but this house clearing has changed that. As it's been so difficult selling stuff on Trade Me or even giving away free I'm just taking it to the tip. Today I loaded up the trailer with goods from the basement that in past days I would have kept. Straight in the trailer and straight out at the tip.
