@feather1952 I dropped off one book I've just finished reading (Juice by Tim Winton) at the local Oxfam secondhand bookshop and came away with 3 more.

Artificial hippies? Titanium ones to match the artificial kneesies?

Yeah ... that last was never meant to be and born years after the others ... turned out to be for the best
Still a cheeky bugger but I shut him up about age when he turned 50 last week -

I had a gorgeous brown & orange (70s!!!) sleeveless thing that was pleated across the top, so wonderful as a maternity dress. Coarse fabric, rough print & embroidered, from one of those shops selling all manner of things exotic. Could be worn alone in summer, or over a skivvy (!) in winter.
Wish I still had it.

Brown and orange was everywhere
Clothing, curtains, upholstery ... especially 'Aztec' patternEven in the kitchen with mission brown cupboards with orange laminate bench tops ...
Which was in the last house I lived in ...
I covered it in white adhesive vinyl ... and made sure I had boards to put hot pots on, had to remove it when I left. -

I did notice that was quite prominently displayed in the national library exhibition. Living in the 70s.

@MyView I don't notice vibration with mine. It has bigger rubber-like wheels, that absorb some impact. @treleanor @feather1952

Loved the boxes stack ... each child could have their own colour ... could go on a picnic without complaints of "he touched my food" and "that's my cup" ... ahh the good ole days

@MyView Lots of pieces that have to be assembled, and would possibly get scratched if the box is carelessly handled.

@PhilWill @MyView @Susan60 @feather1952 @caity Family home still has those anodised mugs, each a different colour. 1970’s? ‘80’s? Just saw some on eBay with travel case, advertised as retro, says ‘never used.’ Price $140(!)

LinkedIn lets you do up to ten minutes of video, it turns out.
So now I podcast on LinkedIn. (Have I got this right?)
This (there's a link in comments, or hit the play button and I'll read to you) is massive news. For the first time, podcasts are bigger than spoken-word radio. And look at the growth of podcasts (and the decline of AM/FM radio) in this graph from Edison Research. In the US, Guideline report that $29.3mn shifted away from radio last year and into digital audio ads (and that grew 9.3% last year). And in the UK, radio's diminishing place in audio is highlighted by the new name for The Radio Academy - now The Audio Academy. Big changes. Worth clocking. Audio, and radio, is changing faster than ever. Thank you to CoHost for supporting Podnews this month.
