Sometimes in the quiet before the kids wake up I lie in bed pondering life’s great mysteries.
Is there life after death?
How on earth is Trump still a presidential candidate?
What colour is that infernal dress?
Where is that bloody panda?
Where am I going?
Mostly I wonder about my destination in a metaphorical sense, but this morning my musings are of a more geographical nature.
This morning four of my mates and I are headed to the airport but only one of us knows where we are headed. The rest of us will find out when we see the departure board.
I love surprises! That’s another thing about being an adult that no one warns you about. Past twenty you just about have to get yourself knocked up to have a genuine surprise.*
Last year my sister-wife Susan surprised us all by organising a little Sunday session with Darryl Braithwaite.
This year it’s Sonia’s turn.
We’re headed to the airport this morning. If you’re as keen as I am to know our destination, check out Instagram and I’ll let you know as soon as I do.
do you love surprises?
any guesses where we’re going?
* clarification: I love grownup surprises, not the Monday morning kind of surprises that come out of lunch boxes that weren’t unpacked on Friday afternoon.
How wonderfully exciting! I love this idea. Have a great time!! xx
Lucky you! Been thinking about you lots recently in those early mornings. Can’t wait to hear where you’re off too. Enjoy it xxxx
I’ll definitely be following along, I love a good surprise. How exciting. Have fun. x
Such a fun thing to do! Have fun wherever you go. x
Sounds like so much fun! Have a complete ball. Unfortunately surprises around here seem limited to the lunch box kind you mentioned.
How exciting! I used to take Mystery Flights with one of my friends all the time it was fantastic. That was back when I loved surprises, I don’t hate them but I like to know and be prepared. I think the new me needs to let go more and enjoy the surprises. Although now that I actually only remember day to day (as in the period while I am awake – then I forget when I am asleep and start the next day all over again 4yrs ago!) in some respect every day is a surprise!
Hope you have the most amazing time!
What a fabulous bevvy of gals you have around you, I’m happy for you! And I can see the panda… xxx
What an excellent idea – for a Mummy that plans every movement in our household it would be divine to be ‘surprised’. Enjoy! x
