I like the part about the ‘black satin sheet in a kings cross gutter’ . . what a classic ! 😂

My very first city job at the age of 19, was delivering the daily early morning newspapers to all those lovely old art deco apartments in that area, from the kings cross newsagency.

The trolley would be highly stacked up to the top, saturday’s SMH & sunday’s were the heaviest to push . . great excersise 💪 I must say 😉

thankyou for your story, Lo

cheerio for now, ally x

Yes back when the papers were very heavy!! I used to help my school friend with her paper run. I never was too fussy about finding things in the street, I always figured they were kind of a sign - and there's nothing a good wash can't fix!

Great post Lo. Fancy Satin Pillows is on YouTube streaming. I searched and found it when you mentioned it. And damn that’s a great Stones song and moment in time. Listening to them kind of ramble into a song the way only they can.

Bobby Gentry!!! Watching her performance so good. So much staunch so much fuck you in her eyes! Thanks Lo - your knowledge of country is expansive… I’m learning from you in every post. Also love that satin sheets were originally for bed sores.

Love your chapters Lo....and here's some added health benefits to - 'Sleeping on a silk pillowcase may help prevent fine lines over time thanks to this reduced friction. It'll also help you avoid those unattractive pillow creases you encounter from sleeping on cotton. The material can also prevent bedhead and flyaways.' Better go get me some...hahaha XXX

Oh my god yes! I was obsessed with that song. Popular music has a lot to answer for.
