anonymoose_au11:33pm: Seriously, I know a lot of people pass on every day and year, but 2016 seems to be out for the celebrities! Today like everyone else I turned on the TV to discover from the news ticker that Carrie Fisher died! I just saw her on The Graham Norton Show at the start of the month and she seemed quite well, promoting her book and everything. She was also the same age as my mother which always makes a celebrity death disturbing to me, because that's young!
And of course there was George Michael just a few days ago, which I think I mentioned here, but maybe not (I guess I didn't think you wouldn't have heard about it yourself!). I couldn't remember what songs he sang, but then they mentioned them are some of them are my favourites.
This coupled with the fact that I got invited to join a Facebook group about it being fifteen years since I finished high school makes me feel a bit alarmed! Like time is passing me by or something. How can it be 15 years since high school? What have I done with myself? How can I be 5 years older than Romy and Michelle were supposed to be in their movie! Although I guess a big part of that movie was that they hadn't done much with their lives either...but they did have fun, so I guess that was the point. :OP
Anywho, in stark contrast to yesterday I spent all of the day out of the house, firstly by being at work and then by going over to the parentals. As it happened Mum and I didn't go swimming at the outdoor pool at M and Grandpa's house, but in the indoor pool at Mum and Dad's place. Which was cool because my brother, his wife and my niece came along too. Although only the niece went swimming, she seemed to like it more in the warmly heated indoor pool. Also my new goggles are great! Man, I had no idea my old ones had gone so foggy.
There was some brief discussion of going to the mall because Mum wanted to buy something for my niece before realising that it was probably too late - it was going to be a large toy that my brother and his wife couldn't have taken back on the plane. Instead she went to the supermarket near by to get the ingredients for spaghetti which Dad prepared and a delicious dinner was had! Yum!
Tomorrow is also going to be a busy one, it's supposed to be hot as Hell (like 40 degrees C!) so I'm going over to M and Grandpa's for canasta and then to the parental abode to pick up my swimmers and towel (which I forgot to take tonight) and if the weather is still super hot stay the night. Although since we live so close to the coast the sea breeze often comes to the rescue, but we'll have to see!
And now, I gotta go, it's midnight again and I need to get my shut-eye!
Goodnight all!
