Bucket and Spade Day

Bucket and Spade Day

I have no trouble recalling vivid details of my boyhood and youth. As a six year I developed a nomenclature for a great day. The beach in tropical Queensland, Australia evokes memories of its own.

Perfection for me was to grab my bucket and spade, and go. Adventure awaited. Hence a perfect day throughout my life has always been a "Bucket and Spade" day.

Today I need lists to have a chance of remembering what I have done even in the recent past ~ recalling 60 plus years ago, No Worries, Mate.

I try always to have bucket and spade days, one after the other - the rewards are great.

First time I heard of it as "bucket and spade", but don't have the benefit of youthful thinking! Enjoy your day!

Larry-I am curious....what did you do with the bucket and spade? Were you building, or are there clams in Australia, and were you digging for dinner?

Tim - long ways to go yet.

Ronald - too right, mate. As many as possible.

Wayne - an invention where description is defied.

Marie - essential kid's equipment for seaside engineering. Also good for getting pippies and soldier crabs (bait for dad).

Sandy - Feel free. It's my image for all is right in my world.

Gary - welcome back. We missed you. You had more than a few of us worried. Big sigh of relief.
