A few posts back I mentioned that an old friend was wisely getting married on a Friday which is a marvellous idea. This continues the trend of friends getting hitched every eight months or so which is a nice interval for buying new shirt/ties combos.
I was talking to a young friend last night (must be young, hasn't had any friends married off yet) who was telling me that she was planning on getting married by twenty-six and by my age (very nearly thirty) would have two of her four children.
Now when I was her age and thirty seemed a very long way away I suppose that I too thought that I'd be settled down by now. However, now that I'm older and wiser (stubborn and stuck-in-my-ways) I have come to realise that life doesn't always work out how you expect.
One of those questions that turns up every now and again in email questionaires is the "where do you see yourself in five/ten years times??" If you were to ask me that now I'm not sure I could answer. Will I still be here?? Will I still be blogging, shooting or any of the other things that I do now. Will I be married, will I have kids...??? Ten years is a very long time and there is only one way to find out.
They say patience is a virture....
