We are nearly 45!
I can’t remember if I have told you this yet, forgive me if I have,
after all I am getting on a bit, even the grey strip of hair on my
wrist, where in the past I have focused all of my aging and grey hair
(like Dumbemdore’s cursed hand) is beginning to leak, I am now getting
grey hairs on my head, much to my Darling’s delight. Anyway, what I was
saying is that my Sweetheart and I were both born 28/6/1968. I was
about 4.30pm in England, and she was about 4.00pm in Canada. Ahh
magical you may think, well yes we do think it is, and we continue to
make it that way.
We are nearly 45! I can’t believe it. It is just not possible, when did this happen? how did it sneak up on me?
The light of my life looks wonderful. Today she dressed up in her
where’s wally costume for a book party at her work (at least that’s what
she told me, whatever she was up to, she certainly looks cute in her
red and white striped skivvy and pony tails.) My darling is a teacher
for 2 – 5 year olds. She is such a wonderful affectionate mum, I think
she’s a bit hooked on the littilies and now that ours are grown up gets
her fix at work….
Me, I went to work in my normal winter pretty fish (See Work Page)
costume, thermal skivvy, polo shirt, jersey, smalls, dress pants, warm
socks (equipped with orange toes) safety shoes sporting bright orange
laces (I have a thing for orange) and a can do attitude shooting for
success…. I needed to get to work a bit earlier this morning for a
meeting so unfortunately I only had a moment to give wally a brief hug
(I don’t know what the fuss is or what’s so hard, I found wally quite
easily). We love hugs, especially skivvy hugs, I would have liked a few
more minutes….
The light of my life and I are going to take our birthday day off
and have a fun day. My Darling didn’t find it too funny when I asked her
what she thought she would do, me I’m going to play xbox and eat
chippies (YES IT’S TIME AGAIN!!!! NO GUILT, BIRTHDAY BURGER RINGS). Just
joking, (not about the chippies though) we are going to have a special
day together.
We are going to be going to see the phantom of the opera in
Wellington as a birthday treat. We both saw this musical in Australia a
long time ago and enjoyed it so we are looking forward to seeing it
again.
We are also going to see the movie man of steel, I still love
superman films (how can that be, I’m 45?, I use to think I was batman
(“I’m batman”) now that I have seen man of steel advertised I am not so
sure…. If we go on Friday, everyone else will be at work/school which
will be even better.
We are not going to buy each other a present this year because we
have just repaired our spa pool and bought a new washing machine, and of
course we don’t really want for anything. We are after all grown ups
and grown ups are practical, budget and careful with their money. I’ve
told my Darling, and she agrees, that our present is the washing
machine, yahoo, just what I always wanted, half a washing machine. I
hope I never have to use it………… I have to stay away from it, just in
case its modern user friendly ways teach me somehow while I’m not paying
attention to be able to operate it.
The new washing machine is huge (10kg of washing compared to 6kg
for the old one), I’ve seen garden sheds smaller than this thing (TARDIS
anyone?) This thing is going to hold a lot of smalls….. Hopefully it
should make washing less of a chore (for those that use it), thinking
about it, I agree with what you are thinking, it should be more of my
Darling’s present, I think I should get something else.
Svelte Chicken Lives…. for a birthday surprise (hint, hint…..)
