#Threads#Threads40 Well, that was grim. Watching as an adult had more overwhelming, relentless bleakness, and less of the outright terror teenage me felt.

Well that was full of joy and hope #Threads#Threads40 Quite glad I didnโt see it at the time, not surprised it was seared on peopleโs memories. I do remember the general fear of a nuclear attack, it did seem possible even if not probable. Right, off to bed, letโs see what my dreams bring.

WORDS AND PICTURES! #Threads40
