#SaturdayThrowback Oh man! #Elnett had magic powers. Need a beehive? Upstyle? No problem. Elnett will get you there. Not a strand would be brave enough to misbehave. Combing out the style - well ... that was a whole other story! Share your #Elnett memory.

No problem. Elnett will get you there.

#SaturdayThrowback It's a tradition in Indian homes to receive a #grindingstone also known in Tamil as an #AmmiKallu when you get married. This pre-dated #KenwoodChef + #Moulinex, off course. But my gran had one, which after years of use, became perfectly dimpled in the centre. If I close my eyes, I can catch the waft of mint, peanuts and dhania, all being hand-ground, by my gran, who was always dressed in a sari. That memory of her, slightly bent over her stone, making food, laced with love, will remain with me forever. #Umzinto #Home Share a tradition which takes you back.

#SaturdayThrowback While every centimeter of this pic ignited so many vivid memories - I had to pull myself away from the objects and concentrate on the words. #Carpet fired up a memory - the cream shaggy carpet in my parent's bedroom. I can feel the stringy fibers and how I would move the weave in different directions, marveling at how the light caught the hills and valleys. Go on. Dig deep. The memories are all there.

#SaturdayThrowback This pencil case fascinated me. Shaped like a pencil. Over-stuffed with an assortment of broken crayons, leaky pens and stabbed erasers (if you know, you know). 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 ... can you remember that flavour profile? 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽

#SaturdayThrowback The #PenWatch #WatchPen. A wonder of technology - at the time. If you had one of these - that first day you took it to school - it equated to a spaceship landing in the middle of assembly. #1980sHighTech

#SaturdayThrowback Tuesday nights, after the 8pm news, #Dallas aired in SA during the 1980s. Off course, I wasn't allowed to watch it because it involved #BigPeopleThings When I hit high school, my parents relaxed the rules. That said, my favourite? #VictoriaPrincipal. Why? I loved her hair.

#SaturdayThrowback With no brothers, as the elder daughter, my dad raised me as his son. (Which may explain everything 🤣). I did "boy things." Played with fire engines and racing cars. Learnt to drive early. Taught to change appliance plugs/tyres. And ... rode around on my blue #BMX #Scorpion which was gifted to me, in Std 5, when I managed to top my class. How I loved this bike. I even had a little shoe box of sewing machine oil (from my mum) and rags to buff and shine. Oh! And a little silver bell, so everybody knew I was coming around a corner. #ElderDaughters #BoyThingsAlways #1980s #WarmMemories

#SaturdayThrowback If you, like me, started independent living with a #twoplate like this - then you are officially an #OG Me and my #Pineware went places. From #res #MabelPalmer #UniversityOfNatal to my own 1 bed later on. Cleaning under those spiral plates was a pain until I decided to stop being cheap and bought those foil trays which went under it. Happy memories of simple beginnings where there was no skaam in where you found yourself.

#SaturdayThrowback Back in the day, our #sandshoes #takkies were whitewashed with this "polish." Some brands caked and your shoes cracked. Literally. That's when most of us went back to good old #greensoap.

#SaturdayThrowback Remember when you ate what you were given and didn't dare leave a single, anything on your plate? I remember sitting at the table, way past dinner time, staring at cold food (and feeling very sorry for myself) while my family went about their evening. According to my mum, wasting food was a sin. I am grateful for that lesson.

#SaturdayThrowback #OilofOlay Takes me back to my gran #SaraswathiGovender This stood on her dressing table in #Umzinto and if I close my eyes, I can still remember the fragrance, which smelt soft and comforting - just like powder. Where did you go, in your mind when you saw this pic? Who are you remembering?
