KIWI: “So, what are we doing on Wednesday?”
ME: “Ummmm… Nothing?”
KIWI: “Really? We’re not doing anything Wednesday?”
ME: “Well, we might be passing the baby back and forth while she cries and we give ourselves indigestion as we scoff a bowl of pasta, then I might try and find a clean muslin to mop up her vom, we’ll argue about whose turn it is to change her nappy, then pray that she has an OK-ish bedtime and we don’t have to pick her up and settle her seven hundred and fifty thousand times…”
KIWI: “You really don’t know what Wednesday is, do you?”
[PAUSE]
ME: “Oh my gaaaaaawd! I’m sooooo sorry! I’m the worst wife ever! It’s our third wedding anniversary, of coooooouuuurse, yes… no… totally, I forgot.”
KIWI: [Laughs] “So, what do you want to do?”
ME: [SLIGHT PAUSE] “Well, that’s a bit of a ridiculous question, isn’t it?”
KIWI: “Bit harsh.”
ME: “OK, ask me again.”
KIWI: “What do you want to do for our wedding anniversary on Wednesday?”
ME: “Right, well, I though we could start off by having a few martinis at Fifth Floor Harvey Nichs, nip in for a few at the Long Bar, then we can head off to Fabric, double drop with a bottle of Jose Cuervo, throw some shapes on the dance floor, generally enta in de dance, plug it in an we begin, crowd up in de centa, dey watch (be dibidim), climb up a bus stop on our way to Maccy Ds, and then do a runner from a black cab as we roll in around 4am. Sound good?”
KIWI: “That’s just ridiculous.”
ME: “My point exactly.”
One year ago, we were almost or were on the Bank Peninsula Track - fighting storms of falling pears, rain and hail plus much sun. I was also begining my final year of study - Dip of Counselling. AND today passed my final assignment!!!! Nan moved house during the year and I've book my trip to northern hemisphere for Sept/Oct
