Milestone in Life

Have reached a new and upsetting milestone in life.

Coincidentally, hubby and I reached this milestone at exactly the same time - on Friday evening. We were watching a movie (not relevant to story, but was a 2012 doco). Had consumed some wine. Everything fine. Then, suddenly - we are BOTH asleep. Sitting on separate lounges, heads tilted to one side, noses up in air - dead to the world.

Have always maintained (was saying to mother as recently as June just gone) that I would never ever be in the sort of marriage where both parties fall asleep in front of telly in evening. Have always been puzzled by phenomenon of people who are able to sleep on lounges and other more or less public places; and have always been quietly confident that this would never be me.

Upon discovering that we had both been sleeping, we silently turned telly off and proceeded to bed. Thought perhaps whole sorry incident would go away if not spoken about.

Come Saturday night. Went to a bar to see a gig, doors-opening supposed to be 8pm. Said and done, at 7.45pm we arrive. At around quarter past nine we finally realise that doors will not open any time soon, and gig probably will not be over until midnight.
Sitting at pub sharing a beer. Saying to selves that clearly not our fault that they advertise 8pm but mean, like, 10pm! Clearly not our fault that cannot drink any more as doing yoga in morning. Is not that we are old. Convinced selves that this incident in NO WAY related to previous evenings sleep-incident.

Finished our beer and went home.

This afternoon am heading to the Beachie (Beach Hotel, Byron Bay). Will let you know how it goes.

Det är därför vi har en tv i sovrummet = älskar att slumra in... Ah! Och vi är inte ens gifta och dricker inte ens öl/vin.

Älskar dock det lugna, fina livet.

Haha, visst är det helt ok att slumra på soffan =) Beach Hotel i Byron, fick lite nostalgi nu... Var där för ungefär ett år sen med fina vänner... How I miss the travel days... Kram

Duktiga Tjejen, så duktigt att låta bli alkohol! Jag måste säga att vi dricker fortfarande för mycket ibland men jag har skurit ner massor sen ett par år. Och kosten är utmärkt och vi gör ju massor med yoga så överlag är jag den ultimata renlevnads-människan! :-)
(sluta se så skeptiskt ut Charlotte, jag ser dig - jag är ju psychic som du vet haha)


Emmy, hojta till om du är i trakterna igen så kanske vi kan ses på Beachy!
