Stefano Marinelli<p>Years ago, I found a VHS tape from my childhood. It was the early '80s, I was a little kid, and my uncle was filming with one of the first VHS cameras. I was at the beach, walking on the sand. I walked carefully, avoiding sharp shells or any pointed stones that might hurt me. I still do that today. My uncle would often ask, "Are you walking on eggshells?" to highlight my cautious, delicate steps. Sadly, my uncle has been gone for thirteen years now. But those words, recorded on tape, often play in my mind. When I need to move carefully—whether physically or metaphorically—I hear his voice and see that little blond boy (yes, incredible, right?) moving cautiously on the sand. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ChildhoodMemories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChildhoodMemories</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/VHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VHS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Uncle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Uncle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nostalgia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/LifeLessons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LifeLessons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WalkingOnEggshells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WalkingOnEggshells</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MemoryLane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MemoryLane</span></a></p>

That time I was a very bad daughter, in 1991.

My parents bought our family home in early 1991. At that time, they both worked 2 jobs, including a nighttime janitorial couples job at local government offices. I was in my early troublesome teen era. I threw a party at our home & invited only my friends from 3 different high schools. The word got out & every single high school crowd had found out about it. Our street had hundreds of teens arriving, almost all at once. I was flabbergasted & didn't know what to do because people wouldn't leave. Several had invaded my bedroom & messing my stuff up. parents came home. They were freaking out. My Mom picked up her broom & started yelling & literally sweeping people out with broom. 6 cop cars arrived because neighbours called. Everyone scattered. I jumped in a car with 3 friends & met up with others at Layritz Park. Where we then set up a random obstacle course & did races at it for 2 hours before cops came to chase us off. We ended up at Durrance Lake & skinnydipped by moonlight.

I was grounded for 2 weeks & had my driving privileges revoked for a month. I deserved it for being an irresponsible little shit.

Ooh, just dug this out. Raw comic magazine compilation selected from the first 3 issues (Read Yourself Raw, 1987). I think a mate bought it for me in my late teens as a birthday pressie (£9.99 from Forbidden Planet when it was on Dawson St. Dublin). Or I bought it in the company of a mate on a city centre comic spree. Either way, I’m glad it’s rediscovered. #MemoryLane #RawMagazine #ArtSpiegelman #GaryPanter #1980s #Comics #ComicBookArt

I seem to have saved a few bits and bobs from the time of the currency change-over to the Euro. A few ads, newspaper clippings, and that Irish £ to € calculator which I’m pretty sure I used only about twice. My memory is that I got Euros out of an ATM after a New Year’s party at the Project Arts Centre … and that was it. Currency transition done.

One of the incidents that really struck a chord with me was when Mary Chubb was excavating a necklace, and thinking of the person who'd lost it all those thousands of years before, and of a necklace of daisies she'd had as a child, and lost. I made her a daisy necklace in response

I am more fortunate than she: this little necklace of plastic hearts on brass wire was given to me when I was about seven, and it is still charming.
