The Snap (Vol.6, 1983)
from My Mum's Bad Diaries · host Jenny Ackland and Lilika May
We're straight into the reading and it's a short ep this time around! Sorry but we were pressed for time and needed to just get it DONE.Mum has her waitressing gig at the Palais and then goes shopping at Swan St, Richmond. She's developing photos for her folio, so I'm glad she hasn't just ditched that idea (after the robbery I'd understand!)Mum talks about gran's 'yummy dinners' and we talk about meal anxiety these days, and mum tells me she and Mario are going to make their own sausages soon. He got the skins and she has the mincing equipment. Just need to do it!One diary entry has 'a very interesting and NOVEL day' and mum then proceeds to relate how she lost her (new) camera. She doesn't write it in the diary but is 100% sure she put it on top of the car and drove off... There's more nachos + margs and sleeping with boys (I mean sleeping in the same bed, and how hard she finds it with another body in the bed).We talk about the importance of giving and receiving cards (is it a dying artform, like leaving notes for people?), then it's on to hymens. A No Nonsense mention then a bit of trouble in paradise with some emotions coming up between mum and P. And finally after a late night seeing the Allniters in Armadale, mum goes home and 'eats the legs off [granddad's] lobster' and watches the end of a Bronte doco. What a life was had back in 1983!As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.
