Mum used a mangle and a washboard so when the washing machine arrived it was a big moment. |
They borrow money from the Bank of Mum and Dad, which most will never repay. |
We spent a quiet time eating and drinking and chatting until, around 4pm, we drove Mum home. |
Mum told me his surname, and I looked him up in the book, and called him, but his mum told me he was out so I left a message. |
But I was still jet-lagged from visiting 99-year-old Mum in the U.K., so I luckily postponed my visit. |
Mum worked as a waitress at the Ark restaurant in Palace Gardens Terrace and went on to be a photographer. |
