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

@MyView @feather1952 @caity @treleanor

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.

@Susan60 @feather1952 @caity @treleanor

Brown and orange was everywhere
Clothing, curtains, upholstery ... especially 'Aztec' pattern

Even 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.

@MyView @Susan60 @feather1952 @caity brown and orange everywhere! I remember that. 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

Remember these?

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

@Tooden @treleanor @feather1952

No smooth footpaths around here ... all bitumen/asphalt and rough as guts.

Even dangerous to walk on in places and why I felt I needed a walker ...

And new one just arrived!

Got the 'On Way' and 'Been Delivered' message at same time ...
Only bought it Wednesday and came from NSW ... and people complain about AP ...

PS. Old one has 5 inch wheels, new one 8 inch ...

@MyView @Tooden @feather1952 Will await reviews

@treleanor @Tooden @feather1952

It's in a flat box about 60 by 60 cm ...

Unopened so far ... and will remain so for a while as baking meat and apple pies ... freezer almost empty so having a cook up ...

@MyView Mine has 8 in wheels.

@Tooden

Wonder if I should be concerned ... metal object that has Fragile written on box ...

But back to the pies ...

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

@MyView @treleanor @Susan60 @feather1952 @caity we currently still have the jug at the back in orange, a bunch of the tall cup and lids, and short round containers with the same clear lids... sadly lost the stacking containers

@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(!)

@treleanor @PhilWill @MyView @Susan60 @feather1952 @caity I have them around somewhere, I think, unless I gave them to the son at some stage for a bush doof.
