Mum just announced to me that My Uncle Leo, never heard of him, was in military intelligence during the war.
Don't know whether I'm more gobsmacked that yet again I have another relative I've never heard of, or that one of mum's relatives was in intelligence.
Mum said "It's alright he's on Laurel's side" her mother, she ran the black market for butter in Bondi Junction during the 30's.
Then there's uncle Jim "a bugger of a man - but very intelligent, a train driver, Leo's father".
Mum's last comment was "Isn't it lovely reminiscing?" My response "It might be, but I've never heard of them before".
This was preceded by Mark showing mum a photo of a yummy meal he'd had at Royal Manly - otherwise known as "Fishos" mum's response "Was that before you'd eaten it?"
