Wake up with a bang wake up and the club on nine four seven.
Speaking of summer, that's mostly when people go off to the holidays. Did you have a standard holiday tradition as soon as school raps. You possibly have to be picked up at school of eleven or twelve maybe some schools. And I remember one of the schools I went to used to have this on the last day of school.
We didn't have to wear a uniform.
Oh that's cool.
So that's when you knew.
It was like you ring you're ringing the bell here, you're ringing the bell for holiday time. And then maybe you know by the time you get home, your cousins will be at your house, or you've packed to go over to your grandparents or your cousins, and this happened you seven four years in your life. I'm looking for those traditions where you knew that, okay, this is happening, therefore it is officially.
The school holiday.
My grand lived with us when we were growing up, and we had a whole bunch of fruit trees and she had like a little vegi garden. So I remember remember very clearly September holidays September those like just before big summer holidays was jam time because we would make jam in the kitchen.

Twenty years years. But did your grandma give you the skill?
No?
I mean, yeah, I can. I could probably make jam, but it's a lot of work make jam.
That's what that's complicated today.
It's amazing homage like food is associated to like holiday time. That's another thing because some people say I knew it was holiday time because the first morning of holidays, my dad would make us pancakes.
Right right, Yeah, oh we.
Do a Brian and it would be brewery rolls. My dad would whip out the squattland. Then I knew, okay, it's holiday time to begin it.
I mean, food is part of my daily life. But my favorite holiday tradition was my siblings going away to be with a parents while I stayed home.
Then I wouldn't see them for a month.
