We do have a lot in common @Bunniekins
My birth mother visited me at that orphanage... And a boy in the bus jeered loudly, saying I didn't have parents. when I said "I do, I will see them next week, but they have gone home". He made a big deal that where I lived was a CHILDREN'S HOME. Kids can be nasty.
I went to about 15 schools. Lived all over the place. I thought I was rich when we moved to the flats cos we had lights and running water, but it was socially pretty tough. That's where the Octopus gang hung out, and the girl who beat me up for a few years. At one stage I did do a few months of judo, and tried to protect my little brother.
My Chinese zodiac sign is Rat. For what its worth.

Yes serendipity.
It's happening all over the place at the moment. My support worker said I was in flow state.
@Oaktree @Till23 that was where I met my indigenous friend as a kid. Just outside of Camperdown.
