I need a vodka and make it a large one!

Today I found our wedding congratulations cards, a leaflet from the little fish restaurant we found on our honeymoon in Sorrento, and a book of matches from our favourite chinese where he proposed on my birthday 13 years ago. My birthday is next weekend,our wedding anniversary is the week after.
Today I shed some tears, then I packed those things up and moved on to the next cupboard.

Oh, Phoenix, you didn't need that, but at least you can say 'time to move on'! I'll send you something next weekend! Chin up. xx

And I can't think of a better place to create new memories than Brussels ;-)

phoenix said...

too true DQ let the memory making begin (or end depending on the alcohol consumption!) ;-) x

I guess you must dream of a time when you no longer find things like that. :(

Brussels sounds like a nice break. :)

Hello. Hope you don't mind if I step in here. I have to say that I have way more than a drawer of stuff (mostly useless or at least valueless). I'm jealous. I have crap in the attic, the shed and my studio. I keep thinking I'll get rid of it and I don't. I also now have crap in my daughter's shrine (her ex-bedroom but you wouldn't know it was ex to look at it) that I hope will one day get out of there. Not that I need the room or anything.

As to memories, I'll never forget the rainy day I sloshed to my car from work - 3 years after the break up - laughing at being all wet and thinking of how I would tell him when I got home. That was hard and sort of a lapse. I really didn't see that coming. I never look at my old photos.
