What - no
Meno title?!
No… this
is a special occasion day. Aitch has
been mentioned quite a lot of late but at the start of things you will recall I
wrote of Emm - my 'other sister' in OZ.
I have world family you see.
Today is
Emm's birthday. We were born the same
year (as was Aitch - vintage stuff we are!!) and have a similar sense of the
ridiculous. This has helped us each in
turn, through some very rough patches.
If one is tripping, the other one catches. If one is short on plot, the other
hatches. If one is undone at the seams,
the other stitches. Doesn't mean it
always works. But we have the ability to agree to disagree too. Essential in any
lasting relationship.
It is
interesting to look at this little triumvirate. Aitch has always been inclined to the
minimal talking, max watching. Emm is
inclined to talk then retreat. YAM falls
somewhere between. A balance is struck
and it works well. For us anyway. (Not that we can't all talk at once when the occasion calls for it!!!!)
Aitch and
Emm have not yet met in person, being hemispheres apart and longitudinally
challenged. YAM is the moving apex of
the triangle. Each has an investment in
me but each also has the ability to just let me be me. It occasionally bites me that I cannot have
us all close together - but then maybe that is why
it works. The space between keeps the
ribbons taut.
What I do
know is that to have been blessed with two spare sisters who mean every bit as
much to me as the two blood-born ones is a prize I would wish for
everyone. Indeed, I hope that many
reading this will relate.
So it is
with the warmest, heartfelt wishes that I give a public shout out to 'me mate' Emm in OZ... Emmember this???
Emm's 50th - Bollywood Breakout!!! (That's Emm, behind YAM, with the hands in the air...) |
YAM xx
Thanks my didi for your wishes. Did not know you had all these pictures. Specially from the exhibition. Interesting, cos I am back to doing mandalas again. And that was my 49th by the way. Didn't we have a ball. You look so stunning in your red saree. And even though I have not met Aitch, seems like I have. More incentive for a Scotland visit. In the next few years.
ReplyDeleteI must say you have high teas in Scotland and bollywood in aust. Can't ask for much better than that.
Thanks once again. Maybe it is the d day I start my blog. Will c .
Love and light and hugs hugs hugs.
