50 big ones February 8, 2005

Filed under: Uncategorized — Mark @ 9:48 am

The smaller of my older sisters turns 50 this year. At christmas she was talking about what she was going to do for her birthday and wanting to organise something special.

At the time Mark & I suggested that she should have a Summertown party. What could be better for your birthday than to have DC playing in your loungeroom? At the time Lil Big Sis seemed a little cool on the idea.

Then she rang yesterday to tell us that she’s done it. She’s booked a Summertown party for her birthday! I didn’t actually get to speak to her, but she sounded pretty excited on my MessageBank.

I’m really looking forward to her party now. For a while there I was expecting to be surrounded by her friends from years ago with all of them telling me how terribly young I am. That may still happen, but at least there’ll be a bit of really good music to hear.

It hadn’t really struck me that you/we would be going. A bit of Deborah would make all the difference.
