Throwback Thursday turned into Throwback Tuesday for me just now as I was rummaging through some old stuff and came across a very old picture. It was taken on 4th April 1982 for my confirmation, I was just about turning 14 at the time.
Among my people, confirmation meant you were transcending to adulthood, e.g. we were allowed to stay out in the evenings, drink alcohol, smoke etc but also that we were fully engaged in working on the farm, etc. No more simple chores like weeding in the veggie garden or cleaning shoes, instead getting up at 5:30 AM milking cows, feeding all animals on the farm etc before running to school at 07:30 AM. That became later 06:45 AM to catch the only bus in the morning going to the city after I started high school/college in September 1982.
Looking forward to see your old pics!
Can you guess which of the boys is me?
