Things That Make You Feel Old.

Every day as you are busy and getting on with work and jobs and all the other stuff you generally have to do in a week, your brain doesn’t really register things, especially time passing.  It is only when someone says “oh so and so is 40 this year” or about their child “they are 18 this year” you realise how many years have gone past.

Well this was released on December 1st 1989 in the UK which is 35 years ago this year! OMG where did 35 years go?  I love this film, if I am not well or feel down I put this film on and feel instantly better.  I love the characters, the writing and the story.  My only wish was that Nora Ephron had followed the film up with a book continuing Harry & Sally’s story.

I went to see the film at the cinema and was twenty five, been married to DH for one year and we had our first home and both working.  So I guess I related to Sally, living in New York and going out to dinner with friends. 

This of course was long before we had the Boys and one of our things was to go out on a Friday evening after work for dinner before the weekend which was always busy.  At the time DH’s father was still alive and my Grandmother so we spent Saturdays visiting them and doing jobs or shopping for them and usually we had a disco to do on Saturday evening (DH has always done DJ work, although it is now more announcing).  Sunday was Church and then getting things sorted for the week ahead.  Fridays and Friday night have always been my favourite day of the week.

I think I will put this film on over the weekend and reminisce!!!  DH is out all day Saturday again with announcing and I am determined to get some quilting done this weekend.  Sunday we are supposed to do some gardening but it looks like it is going to rain for most of the day so we shall have to see. Youngest & Girlfriend will be home on Saturday after their week’s holiday.

Happy Thursday you lovely lot.
