The good the bad and the ugly

The anniversary weekend! As follows.....

The good:

1. My parents had a fab 50th wedding anniversary.

2. I got to spend quality time with my siblings and nieces.

3. Which resulted in my 'house and rabbit sitting' for a week, next week in the Midlands. A whole four bed house all to myself!

4. No one took a picture of me in the dreaded 'frock'. Result! (For those who are desperate, and you must be is all I can say, there's a pic in the Sept' 08 archive somewhere if you care to root around.)

5. The sun continued to shine on us all day.

The Bad:


1. I was the only single adult there.

2. It made me feel very lonely.

3. I couldn't sleep and had no wifi or A/C, not sure to this day how I managed!

4. I couldn't get drunk, I was the 'nominated driver'.

5. I couldn't get drunk but I've had a headache ever since regardless!

The ugly:


1. Eating wayyyyy to much cake

2. Wearing the dreaded 'frock'.

3. Forgetting to remove my make up at night and seeing the result in the morning.

4. No A/C and a ground floor room necessitating that the windows remained closed!

5. Imagining being married longer than I have lived! ;o)

I bet you looked fab in your frock!
I'm sorry you felt lonely, it's just the situation you are in right now but it won't be forever. I hope that soon, if you remain single you'll be single without the lonliness. You had been part of a couple for so long and I suppose at this kind of occasion you do feel it more.
Congratulations to your mum and dad! 50 years! WOW. xxx

I've been eating cake for pretty much four days straight. Don't feel bad.

Hey hun, just catching up, good to see some more happy posts of late. Depending on where in the Midlands and if you think you can cope with my adorable 'terrible two', let me know if there's a chance of a meet up. Hugs.
