This is a photo taken at an afternoon tea that my Dad had for "a few friends with cake" for his and Mum's 60th wedding anniversary. The few friends numbered 25, which lead to a bit of a mad scramble on my part. In this photo, Dad is seated and his primary school classmate Laurie has the floor. Laurie was the postmaster and tennis coach from my childhood, but apparently Dad and he had a few adventures when younger, and he told them with a great deal of wit on this occasion. We were really there with the tiny trailer and the 60" concrete pipe at this point!
One of the blessings of spilling a half a cup of water on a bench when the drawer beneath is slightly ajar is that the 15 years of accumulated "stuff" has to be taken out and organised. I am not by nature a tidy person - it takes effort EVERY DAY to not be able to be tracked by the detritus left in my wake - but I consider organising therapy at times.
I must admit, this really tickled my fancy - but some people just didn't get it. Do I have a weird sense of humour?
To quote another blogger that I read today, just got rid of a whole lot of blah-blah-blah that really only needed to escape my head, didn't need to go to yours.
Have a lovely day - its now Thursday here and my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. HB RB (and Uncle B too)

Life itself is a bit of a jumble!
Something to love about each one of these photos! That is one beautiful cat. My black grandkitty just celebrated his 15th birthday. Having done my share of wielding a post hole digger, I can think of times I would have bought holes! 😂
It's good to see a new post from you! Love the cat and I had to laugh at spilling in the drawer. Been there, done that!
I'd like a nice post hole. Do they come deep enough to "disappear" several annoying neighbours?
Oh, I'd gladly take a couple dozen of those post holes. I wonder what they charge for shipping.
Cats are known to be helpful in the office, as they other stay on the laptop or on the pile of papers one needs to check. :)
Happy anniversary to your parents and happy birthday to the in-law.
