Glorious nostalgia

I'm sitting here wallowing. Not in a bad way. I decided to start working my way through my record collection now I have the time.
I bought this record when I was 16 and I can very clearly remember lying on my bed listening to it over and over again. It was 'o' level year. I can remember the way my room looked, some of the clothes I had at the time, places I went, people I knew, an argument I had with my best friend over a boy and many other trivial details.
But what I can't remember is what my hopes and dreams were. I have never been the sort of person who makes long term plans but I must have had some idea of what my future would be after school (I knew there was no way I was staying at school but I was yet to convince my parents of this!). It's weird that I can't remember this.
Would that young girl be pleased with the way her life turned out? I'd like to think so.I know she wouldn't have been able to imagine being in her mid fifties because her mother was only 55 and seemed like a very old woman!
Thank you Cliff for allowing me  to reminisce for a while. Maybe tomorrow I will go to the early eighties for my inspiration.

The record has finished now so I will snap out of these thoughts and go and catch up with the daily bulletin to see how many more people have died today - Its a very strange and sad world The worst thing that 16yr old had to worry about was which outfit to wear to the next party.
