What was it with putting toddlers in tiny suits in the 70's? I remember that when I was 2 or 3 (1976-77) I had a suit (beige IIRC, possibly corduroy).

I had a little mint green suit when I was about the same age. I'm certain that photos exist, but I don't have any to share atm.

somewhere there's a photo of me as a toddler wearing a floral print waistcoat. dunno if that's an 80s equivalent to the 70s suit or if my mum was just mental.

Christmas 1974, I would have just turned 2. My sister in the Santa hat, our neighbor (and kindergarten teacher) Peg is the adult.

What strikes me when I look at these old photos is that my face is still exactly the same. Shave that kid's head and give him a beard and voila! It's 38 years later. Only the color of my eyes has changed from blue to green-grey.

Never gonna happen #1:
Summer 1988. Hi J, yeah - I'll meet you at the pub. I'll have been playing tennis all morning so I won't change or anything, but that won't be embarrassing or anything, will it?

Late summer 1988. Oceanographic lab, 3rd year of degree, terrible jumper. Boy, I really hope S doesn't have a boyfriend or something by the time I see her again at Xmas. Oh.
