10th March 1973
Forty-three years today.
Strewth?! What happened to the time ?
Start to married life:
one VROOM VROOM super charged V8 Valiant ex-police chase vehicle
a home owned by the bank
refrigerator, bed and a carload of gear
2 mortgages and a personal loan
one wage earner – income $50/week
one university student
43 years later:
a VROOM VROOM ute and another little not-a-ute
(and the kids’ 4 cars – driveway looks like a used car yard)
Oh – and a 53 foot ferrocement boat too but that’s in the water
MUCH bigger, freehold home
2 kids, 2 girlfriends and a dog
LOTS of stuff – at least a shipping container load
2 self-funded retirees
It’s been a hell of a journey so far!
Happy anniversary to TRH

This is sweet. Anniversaries give hope for my own future. It tells me: it’s possible.
It IS possible but you have to work at it. So many don’t. I think it’s a syndrome of our throw away, disposable everything society 😦
You are very right. It needs effort from my side. Cool. 🙂
Happy Anniversary !!! May you have another 43 wonderful years, Have a lovely day
Best Wishes
Brooke
Thanks Brooke – another 43 would be just awesome !
Have a lovely day
Great photos – many congratulations. And they said it wouldn’t last! Best wishes, Nick
Thanks Nick 🙂
Congrats that is so sweet! I have a bunch to go but at the 24th yr and have done a little comparing in my head of my how things have changed! Like no computer, internet, cell phone in our first belongings (oh they existed somewhere but not in our world 🙂 happy wishes to you!
We didn’t even have a landline the first few years, lol !
Congratulations you two! Did you do anything fun? (Btw, that heart picture is gorgeous!)
Thanks 🙂 It’s Thurs here so perhaps a dinner/movie on the weekend. The heart pic is from Pixabay.
Loved the comparison ..and the photos 🙂
Thank you 🙂
I hope you had a great day yesterday. By the way, if you ever find out what happens to time, please let me know. The stuff keeps slipping through my fingers.
Thank you, we did 🙂 Went for a meal and then to see Maggie Smith in Lady in a Van. Brilliant movie! Time is like jelly, I find. It doesn’t like to stay put :((
I remember the Doctor in Doctor Who talked about timely-wimey, wiggly-wobbly stuff, so jelly time might well be right. Anyway, I’m glad you had a great day.
