In a week of surreality

without comments

In a week of sur­real­ity, I learnt I am a MINI-me to a Nick Hodge in the UK and atten­ded Ying Tong.

An email from my mother-in-law, who emig­rated to Aus­tralia in the mid 1950s, con­nec­ted more dots. And some fam­ily skel­et­ons in the closet fell out.

Before jump­ing aboard the ship to Aus­tralia, she worked at the BBC — with The Goons! She typed their scripts and atten­ded record­ings. I am related to fam­ous, and only a few steps removed from The Goons. I am con­nec­ted to Brit­ish Com­edy roy­alty, even if only by marriage.
