1983

Cabbage Patch Dolls become a black market item as parents empty the stores for their little girls; except for mine. I had a My Child called Sophie as my Mum thought cabbage patch dolls were ugly. I did dance as a Cabbage Patch Doll in one of my ballet productions.
The lowest temperature ever recorded anywhere on Earth was taken in Antarctica : -89.2° C.
The inventor of Tupperware, Earl S. Tupper, dies of a heart attack!! Perhaps he got a bit too stressed when someone put self raising flour in the container allocated to sugar!
U.S. soft drink makers begin using aspartame to sweeten diet beverages; perhaps this is why I am addicted to Diet Coke.
And now for some wise words from people who departed this world as I came into it:
An adventure may be worn as a muddy spot or it may be worn as a proud insignia. It is the woman wearing it who makes I the one thing or the other.
Norma Shearer
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what is made by the friends we choose.
Tennessee Williams
Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.
Eric Hoffer
What a great year!!
