Live a Little, You Might Like It.

Hi Col,

As I write today, I'm watching Foo Fighters at Glasto, and enjoying a very nourishing, home made, organic chicken and veg soup.  Yes... I'm hung over.  Really can't beat chicken soup to cure what ails you.  And yes, I do remember you're practically veggie but it's true.

So there is a good reason why I'm hung over; I was fund raising.  I was really... in a fashion.  T&A, organised, no wait, that doesn't look right at all; Tracy and Amanda organised a 'Disco' night for the local hospice.

The usual suspects were there and all that was missing was you and R, and Gary who was mid-flight on the way home from working in NZ for four weeks.  It's amazing how we all click isn't it?  You don't see someone for months, or longer in our case, and the minute you're back together, it's like you only saw each other yesterday.  These friendships will never expire, thank God.

I had such a great time.  It's not that I didn't want to go to the event, but it's so long since I've gone to anything like that, (because I never go out,) it was almost too much effort.  Didn't sleep well Friday night so I was tired, didn't know what to wear, how was I going to get home, I only have one more day left until I have to go back to work and I'm going to be even more tired.  The list was endless but I did really want to go and wouldn't let down.....T&A ;)

Friends and family showed up in force.  Our friends kids,  those little bundles we were around for the birth of, are now... yep, taller than us, working, travelling, going to Uni, just like those bundles at your end, the bundles at this end are all grown up and fine examples.  You have all done such a great job.

We all had a good catch up, Malcolm and I shared our shock at becoming Belieber's at this late stage, (we both, loved Despacito without realising who it was by,) we both love Miley Cyrus' Malibu (co written with Ed of course.)  I missed the whole Hannah Montana thing but M had lived through it with the Grand kids and even the movie, (four times!) So, M was shocked to love Malibu.

I got stealthily flirted with, yes, he was so young, I didn't even see it coming.  There must have been just the right about of darkness on the dance floor for him to confuse me with someone twenty plus years younger than him.  (Totally innocent.)  #Mademynight

Last night reminded me to take a leap, take a step.  Get out into the world.  There are a million reasons to stay home.  One reason to get out....

Life.
