Digging potatoes with my Granda.
He'd sometimes hide sweets in the soil so I could dig them up.
He was a full time gardener all over the city, but none of his kids learned how to keep a good garden.

- In Uruguay these were called “bolitas”. The game had some rules. We dug holes in the ground and shit.maquito
- I once noticed my neighbors had some bolitas made of plaster, and my brother went into a fist fight for it. Bolitas could only be glass.maquito

- Every kind of marble had a name and different value to it. We played it like this. Everyone puts their marble and take turns to hit the head of the line to winBeeswax

I love digging through boxes of stuff I would have kept for one reason or another and lo, I just came upon a box a old ticket stubs! I was a prolific gig goer mainly in the 80's/90's and glad I kept many of these (something for my kids to sell on eBay one day haha)
I probably went to more concerts where I didn't keep the stub - maybe coz I was too stoned or otherwise occupied, 13 Glastonbury Festivals and only managed to bring home the odd programme and fuzzy memories. If your curious about any of the shows in these stubs I will try to remember best I can.
