Anniversary

Finally found my round to it, as I was going to post on Tuesday but things got in the way, like doing some indoor painting especially on one door. Really hate the smell of gloss paint, but it had to be done, one of those itches that needed to be scratched. As you can see it was long overdue!

A good tidy up on the shelves, old phone boxes thrown away, (the things we keep!) and the wood wall trims painted.

Tuesday was quite a special day for us as it was the anniversary of when we first met, 50 years ago! really! 50 whoa.

On Tuesday 22nd 1971 I was allowed to attend the Arbor youth club in Pyrford, Surrey. for the first time. It was quite a large building, with cafe, table tennis and snooker room, outdoor areas for 5 a side and a large hall where various activities took place, and where eventually I joined the Ladies weight training team and went on to be the Captain.  My older brother was a leader there and  I was only allowed to go as he could keep án eye´ on me. That went down well, not, but something I would take as long as I could go.

This rather nice looking chap kept walking passed me, very shy, but eventually someone introduced us and the rest as they say, is history.

Oh my, look at those white socks

Chris had booked a table on the terrace at Maria´s and had taken some pink cava along to chill, he also gave me a lovely bouquet 

We had a lovely meal, I chose swordfish, Maria presented the cava (no corkage) and in fact gave us a bottle of wine that comes with the meal as we left. Lovely gesture.

Well I had better go and get on with some chores, we are having visitors (all being well) on Sunday so a bit of a spruce up is needed.

Enjoy your weekend

take care
