catchup on Schoolies . I wish they had Schoolies in my time , then again I was that dumb I left in year 10 , so I wouldn`t have gone . in 1976 Xmas my brother and me finished work , we had 4 weeks holiday pay plus 3 days pay for Xmas , boxing day and the New Year plus 17% loading . we went to Surfers Paradise no bookings , no worries . we ran out of money , we organised the bank in Surfers and Mum was in the bank in Brisbane , the bank manager had to describe us over the phone . my brother and me had earrings all over our ears , we got the money , we had a great bloody time . in 1976 our accom. was $300 a week , a lot of money , my wage was $76 a week and my brother $55 a week . we did take $1,000 extra with us . we still talk about that holiday , we laugh a lot how stupid we were . I won`t say what we got up to , you could say a couple of illegal things , that`s all I`m saying .

I was watching Greek vids , I came across one on my fav foods my mother use to make for us . Mum was a great cook , not like most mothers who mainly cooked Greek food , Mum cooked food from all around the world , she had cook books everywhere . this vid is Aussie Greek Mum Niki , great name , my daughters name as well .

you wonder why we never leave home till we get married and why we love our Mums and YiaYiathes (Grandmas ) so much , hehe !!! plus the threat of the wooden spoon ( weapon of mass destruction ) keeps us in line .

My mom was pretty awesome. But sadly she was a terrible cook. She hated cooking. My grandmothers and most of my aunts were great cooks, so I’m not quite sure how that happened.

doesn`t matter Kolchak , pretty awesome sounds great to me .
