| Shirley & Mike 1984 |
This is just what friend Vincent said as he came in the door the other day. In his hand were two old photographs that had been taken somewhere in 1984. The only reason we know that is that it's written on the back of each photo. Where it was none of us could remember.
Vincent is in the process of moving and so he is doing the onerous task of checking through his belongings and sorting and clearing which one does when one moves. He said he had found these photos inside an old book.
We all looked at them and had a good laugh but we couldn't think where they had been taken and the background gives us no clue. But don't we look young! I guess someone must have cracked a funny joke to make me laugh like that just as my photo was being taken or maybe I just didn't know it was being taken. We all remember when Mike had curly hair but this looks extra curly. I can't believe looking in the mirror now at my graying brown hair that it was ever that dark.
This is why it's important to at least printout some photos of the many we take now so you can lose them in all your things and then one day in the future find them, remember and have a good laugh.

I met that couple in 1969, they didn't age much between then and 1984!
