Ennis, my wife, turned 50 yesterday. Which means we’re now in different decades. Yes there’s an age difference. She married a younger man. It got people talking twenty years ago. And still makes people think. People aren’t so worried about men marrying younger women. Anyway, we’re right for each other. That’s Ennis in the foreground in the photo to the right.

So the first round of celebration was yesterday. Ross Alexander, a guy we fostered in his teenage years back in the 1980s, sent some flowers and phoned up from London. Excellent buzz that was. He’s got a Ph.D in computing and works with NEC in the UK.

We went out for dinner at the local restaurant that’s been open only three months. Two of Ennis’ sisters from NZ are over for the big celebration on Saturday. So there were ten of us round the table last night.

Pictured here is the unveiling of “New Horizons” an unframed oversized print by Ken Duncan, Australian photographer. We’ll have to save up for the framing! That’s Gloria, Ennis’ sister from Wellington in the foreground. And Gerald, her nephew from Auckland in the background.
