It is reassuring to know that there are are so many people of great taste and discernment out there. :) I think what this shows is that middle-age is a) fairly common and b) can be quite good fun really. Next stop is to launch a club for middle aged people - songs with tunes, recliners and tea and toast. Let me know if you're in.

Hmmm drinking the young ones under the table and cartwheeling off brings make many memories of office parties gone by! I'm now a mum at home, so the only office parties I go to are that of the Huzz (and I sure have disgraced myself at those in the past!). Oh well .... I'm 44 so what do I care?!Victoria | Hibiscus Bloemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937937184875769756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449046747261724339.post-81565093458412591852011-10-17T09:14:28.041-07:002011-10-17T09:14:28.041-07:00Love this.
