Today we went to see a couple I first met in 1975 at Blackwater, Charlie Somers left Scotland middle of winter to start a job underground at Leichhardt Mine Blackwater middle of summer. We started on the same day 17/11/1975. Over the years we became good friends. Charlie & Inga left Blackwater and went to a new job at Gregory Mine outside Emerald, Karen & myself followed shortly after. Charlie retired about 14 Years ago to Marcoola, very easy place to live.
We had a great time catching up, lunch at Marcoola Surf Club, and back home 4.30pm, had a rest,bit to eat then picked up by Pushpa & Geoff. At 7.45pm off to Maroochydore RSL where a band was playing. Had a few drinks & dances good time had by all, except muggens (no smoking had the one who must be obeyed watching me) home by 10.30pm, (getting old).
