Content warning: LOTS of food and body and weight talk. Also a lot of jacket talk.

Mercury is in retrograde and we're grumpy, but we make it work!! I talk bone brother and village soup recipes while back in 1983, mum is obsessed with getting rid of the matted bits in her hair ('dreadlocks' she calls them. Sure.)

She's thinking about Simon a lot. There a day of car trouble. We talk '80s cheque and banking conventions as well as the virtues of a leopard skin dressing gown. Oh and there's a $1 deposit on a 'fab Strummer* jacket' at another op. shop.

Lots of looking for flats and there's one in Kew that has caught mum's heart, while she also tries to do computers, which means reading a BASIC programming book and going to a night course.

Fun times in 1983!
