The Forgotten City
Jun. 2nd, 2017 11:32 pmThings I saw today:
1. Two men wheeling rubbish bin-sized cans of Monster Energy (drink) along the breakwater.
2. A recipe for Chocolate Sauerkraut Surprise Cake. Is it really a surprise if it's in the name of the cake?
A story:
When I was a little daisy, just a bud as t'were, I went to one-room primary school. Every morning, Sister Adalbert would make us take our shoes off, tie rags on our feet over our socks, and put some music on so we could dance the floor clean. This was the idea of a young and funky student teacher, who called it a disco. A disco! How sophisticated we were in our little country town. Only I doubt that any actual 1980s disco DJs put the needle of the sort of records Sister Adalbert played: the collected polkas of Jimmy Shand and his Band, football club theme songs... and the song I am about to embed below,
F-list, I have been looking for this for years. Prolonged exposure to this song is the reason I refer to my hometown as the City by the Sea (that, and the fact I suspect it might be hard for people to pronounce). And googling for it on a whim today turned up trumps. So I'm embedding it here for my own amusement, but please feel free to tie rags to your feet and dance the dust off your floor too.
