When you watched the TV towers being built on Gore Hill (Sydney) when going to school in the train.

And the Cahill Expressway and the Opera House from the school bus.

... and you travelled to school in a train with a brass plaque stating that it was made in the Newcastle state dockyards in 1926.

You remember, with a tinge of fondness, the Big Bopper (and Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens)

.... and that was in 1959. It's like somebody in 1960 recalling something that happened in the C19 - the Boer War, maybe, or the Spanish American War. Remamber the "Maine" ! I don't.

There is a photo of me somewhere of my first day of school taken in 1959 and I am standing in front of the lavender hedge in the back yard wearing a straw hat, navy uniform with Peter Pan white collar and cuffs, a navy blazer with the school emblem on the breast pocket and holding a small suitcase. And my mum would have taken that photo with her Box Brownie!

Gardening definitely isn’t as much fun as it used to be. I borrowed a 4 wheeled walker ( from Canajan) and it helps but everything seems to take twice as long and it’s twice as hard as it used to be, even weeding.

Not only did I get to park in the disabled spot on Cape Byron, but also the nice man waived the $10 fee.

OK, this is my youth world and my old world colliding.
I'm working on a pilot of AI at our company. It's fun, especially as we have a bunch of people with English as a second (or third language) trying to use it.
One poor young child we've hired couldn't understand why AI doesn't like his prompt to create a "one pager"
And I had to explain, complete with video demo, the horrors of pagers. Which led to explaining how there used to be public phone booths everywhere.... that always smelt of piss.

Talking about travel with the 21 year old at work and said I first went to Europe in 2006.
She was shocked because it was so long ago.
I'll go get my Zimmer frame
