The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor22 May 2015, 5:12 pm AEST

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Age 6 to 11 in PNG (formative years) @Former-Member and 3 different periods in the NT totalling 19 years. They say you're a local there if you were there in cyclone Tracy - I was.

Living in PNG was amazing. My dad was in indigenous education and travelled a lot to remote areas both in PNG and NT. I went with him a lot. There would usually be a ceremony to open a new school where he was making a speech and I would be cared for by a local family. Dressed by them and joined in the local celebratory dances. These experiences have totally influenced who I've become as an adult.

Good evening @soul! That is lovely to hear you had a great time connecting with old friends and hop to do it more often.

Has anyone read the book "Angela's Ashes?" I was blown away by the poverty the family endured in that story. It was set in Ireland.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Yup @soul and there is a movie and a sequel Tis.

the mum took it personally ... because somehow it seemed as if he was parodying her ... but he may not have ... but a lot of it seemed close to a lot of other stuff I have seen and heard about .. and what actually adds up.
