Before those days, my mother took me to the sandy beach with those
arched alcoves on hot days. These was a smell there, like fish and
salt and urine. A few years ago I revisited and that smell was still there!

Once, my mother said I could go and meet my eldest sister from school.
I misunderstood her and walked all the way to Radnor Park by
the back roads asI remembered the route from the one time we had gone by
foot to school. I played in teh concrete culvert there, which
I had never been allowed to do, then thought my sister might have passed
by without my seeing her, so went back home to find my parents
distraught and on the verge of phoning the police. They said I was
lost, but i said I wasn't because I knew where I was!
