The Germans (Vol.5, 1983)

Content note: mention of sexual assaultIt’s still January 1983 and we wonder: skin diving – is it a thing?We continue straight on with part 2 of the reading, continuing from last episode.There’s more about the Sydney trip and it seems it might be off due to parental opposition, but then just as quickly, it’s back on again. And there’s a struggle to cook eggs for Simon from Bristol, and then Jenny… drives Simon home. Again.Shortly after, down at Inverloch, she starts reading The Story of O, Pauline Reage and then there’s the first mention of roll-your-own cigarettes. Jenny manages to lock the keys in the car twice and also manages to get picked up on Middle Park Beach by two German tourists, Wolfgang and Michael. Meanwhile Simon is away picking tobacco in rural Victoria. And of course there’s another mohair cardigan on lay-buy.It’s just all happening.Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiariesWe'd love to read your comments or questions! Send us a text!
