tripping down memory lane

The weekend zipped past in a flash – well there are not many that don’t at the moment! What marks the last few days remarkable is that I have been bumping into my past at a rather rapid rate.

On Saturday I went along to a friends for dinner and along the dinner table were people I had only seen once in the last 20 years. I felt quite anxious – but it was completely delightful to see the group of boys, their wives and in some cases their little people. The dinner itself was great in such a suprising location – the hosts new business is a laundromatt and that is where we ate, drank and became a little bit merry!

Last night I had a lovely dinner with a Sydney-Physio buddy who I had not seen for 6 years or possibly more! Goodness I felt completely out of the loop as he talked me through wedding photos, peoples expanding family’s and careers that are ticking over. And no I had no desire to be back in the Physio world! However, gorgeous to hear the news.

The final moment in memory lane arrived in the post (a miracle since the Royal Mail seems to be forever on strike)- a book of girls from my schools 20 year reunion. It was both curious to see that everyone defined themselves by family, children, husbands. Although it is probably me reading into things!

All this looking back is interesting but really it is a bit like wearing slippers, they are super comfy but really you don’t wear them very exciting!
