Saturday Centus … Forbidden fruit!
September 8, 2012
My father was not a communist rather more liberal, but believed that football like religion was the opium of the people. He could and expected his girls to find something better to do on a Saturday afternoon.
My best friend´s dad was a strong supporter of the local team and each saturday he would go to the match. When he returned; he would report back the antics of the football heroes to eager little girls. When England won the World Cup in 1966; I was as patriotic as the next girl.
‘Am I ready for some football ?’
I would say ‘No, now the fun has gone’.

Opium of the people. I loved that line.
Wow.
Sounds like you miss your Dad.
Or at least your ‘first person’ does.
“He” was a power presence in my early blogging days. I miss him.
What is Centus?
It used to be a Saturday prompt … on a particular topic 100 words … it was a good way to begin in the blogging world … don’t think it happens now.
Thank you! I know almost nothing about blogs…always new adventures.
