Today we went on the hunt for the Border's longest engagement, found Lu some powered sage and rejoiced as the kids finally went back to school...
IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS
Yep, two solid decades since Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez and quite a lot has happened to the both of them in that time including various relationships and marriages (to other people obviously) as well as kids along the way. But they reconnected a couple of years back and finally tied the knot over the weekend. Good on them!
So today in celebration, we went looking for The Border's longest time between 'Will you marry me?' and humming 'Here comes the bride.' We started off with 13 years, then found someone who finally got the business done after 22 and finished up with a caller who after 25 years with a fiance, finally got to call him her husband in a lovely ceremony earlier this year. Not bad for a quarter of a century waiting for that big day!
And just on the topic of weddings, while I've never been invited to a Russian wedding (or know anyone who has) judging by the pictures, they look like a tonne of boozy fun and hilarity.

THE SAGE IS IN
After revealing she couldn't find powered sage anywhere anymore in Wodonga supermarkets, Lu came to work today to find a lovely surprise - a big tin of the stuff on her desk good to go. And while I'd like to say it was me and win massive internet points, this lovely gesture was from one of the cooking teachers at the local tafe. And now because of it, she can flavour her lamb shanks to her heart's content.
And because that worked so well for her, tomorrow I'm going to reveal that I'm fresh out of Lexus Is250s and can't find a single one anywhere...fingers crossed!
BACK YOU GO
Okay so while it has been nice having the kids at home, I for one am very glad
they're back at school again after two weeks and a day of school holidays with
a pupil free Monday thrown in for good measure. When I walked through the door
today I wasn't assailed with the usual 'Hi dad, what's for lunch?'.
Bedtimes
have gone back to their regular hours and not 'when this movie ends, time for
bed okay?'
I don't have to wrestle Jack away from my own computer right
now because he's not glued to it currently wrangling another YouTube short
about Roblox using my setup of Davinchi Resolve.
And as I clean up
the house (got some visitors coming soon) I won't suddenly find even more
stuff to deal with as my daughter Sophie starts a new art project and then
leaves it in pieces all over the lounge again in record
time.
Of course the peaceful times in the place come to an
end just after school pick up but it's nice to have the quiet back in a
limited time until then.
TOMORROW IT'S A LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY
The always popular Fight for your Flashback returns and this time it's a song about Egypt taking on a country in the Caribbean. Will the winner be the one with the most sand or the sandiest beaches? Stay tuned!
