40 years ago today....

Up I got in the middle of the night and trooped down to the living room. My dad was there already watching the grainy pictures being broadcast. I laid down on the settee and not long after my mum padded down the stairs.

"You're looking like a hamster this morning!" she said.

I went and looked in my bedroom mirror and she was right. I was a hamster personified.

40 years ago today I had mumps.

Oh, and some bloke was bouncing around on the moon or something.

Of course, some say it never actually happened.

But if you say you had mumps, I believe you.
