Fear not, Kerry Kyriacou (C8), the safari go well with is a la mode. Whereas Granny herself, in an effort to recapture erstwhile youth, noticed a member of Byron Bay rock ensemble Unfastened Content material sporting one onstage, Janice Creenaune of Austinmer factors out that “they made a comeback final 12 months with actor Michael B. Jordan of Creed and Black Panther fame. Media hype thought it could have invaded Australia final summer season. COVID boundaries could have saved it out.” Gerry Foley of South Turramurra “recycled my ’70s safari go well with within the early ’90s, however my teenage daughter refused to be seen out with me.” No worries Gerry, Halloween’s not far off.
Melbourne’s Michael Sinclair, previously from the Barossa (SA), claims they’ve by no means gone out of vogue. “My Barossa crew often escape safari fits for particular occasions – even a ski journey to Thredbo (Michael has enclosed a pic of the crew wanting the products of their retro threads on the piste). When carrying them in public, we put on a wood peg on our lapel, so we all know who’s a authentic member. It helps us establish non-conforming safari go well with ringers who could attempt to infiltrate our gang. SA premier Don Dunstan was a fan and his go well with now hangs proudly within the Flinders College Library.”
Pauline McGinley of Drummoyne says that on seeing teams socialising whereas all continuously checking their telephones, “my husband started singing the Eagles’ Resort California: ‘We’re all simply prisoners right here, of our personal system’.”
“We’ve had the primary koel (C8), the primary blowfly and the primary leaf blower grievance. Can I declare the primary mosquito chunk of the season?” asks Jan Twomey of Lilyfield. “Overlook koels,” declares Col Ruffels of North Avoca, “two cabbage white moths fluttered by this weekend.” And mentioning the rear, Paul Keir of Strathfield thinks: “The true harbinger of spring will not be the primary koel or blowfly. It’s not even the primary leaf blower. It’s no extra chilly bathroom seats.”
“As a septuagenarian, I’d by no means heard spring onions known as scallions (C8) earlier than these woeful American cooking reveals,” reckons Warren Menteith of Bali. “I eat pawpaw, rockmelon and coriander. I refuse to have papaya, cantaloupe or cilantro wherever close to my kitchen.”
Ted Bugarski of South Yarra (Vic) says aside from names, “People pronounce some foodstuffs in annoying methods. Reminiscent of baysell, parmesharn and urb. Can’t watch American cooking reveals with out yelling on the TV.”
