Feeling The Years

Yesterday was the two year anniversary of the gym in Lymington. They had drinks that evening at a local pub, and I realised afterwards that it was the first time I really felt my age. I felt "mature".

Part of it was probably there was quite a few younger people there, but even speaking to people in my age group, I noticed how some people grow up a bit more than others. Obviously, the Lego set and Super Mario video game I received for Christmas isn't exactly painting me like JP Morgan or something, but just in the way I try to set things up in life, and how everything is now, I never realised just how many other people still seem like overgrown teenagers.

Comes from upbringing!

Starting With A Bang

For Christmas this year, one of my presents was a carpet cleaner, which came with a separate steam cleaner. I wondered when I would get the chance to use this, as the only non-carpeted flooring I have is in the kitchen and bathrooms. But then this morning, we decided to have mimosas, a.k.a. champagne and orange juice.

We had bought boxes of random wines, and one of them had a bottle of Russian sparkling wine, which we thought would be good for this. But even though it had been sitting out for days, when the top had even a slight amount of less resistance, it exploded everywhere. All over the stove top, the counters, the cupboards, and of course the floor. This at least gave me a good excuse to use the new steamer, even if the instructions seem to be completely wrong!
