Aja

This was one of the about three of four (audio) cassettes I took with me when I started working for IBM in 1983. I rented a room in Linstead Hall for about 6 weeks before the Hamlet Gardens house was up and running. I had two single-breasted pinstripe suits, one blue, one grey, a red tie, some M&S white shirts. Strange how vividly the music brings back some memories. The carpeting was a dark viridian; the room had a view over Princes Gardens. I remember getting up in the dark but I can't think why since I began work in late July. If have a feeling the room was #622, but that might have been my last year in college. The Linstead Hall I knew, built in 1968, is gone now, as is the house I grew up in. Such is life...
