The ROYAL Easter Show

Tradition dictates that at this time of the year, every year, me, N, and our cousins (A, M and K), head off to the Easter Show. It was awesome, as always. We went on a few rides (less than usual, due to me and A's reluctance - perhaps we're getting old? Cue horror from the "hip" ones.) In fact the only one we went on was the Ferris Wheel. and I got jumpy just being swaying up in the air. Pathetic, I know. Of course I used the day as an opportunity to further test the new camera. I took about 200 photos, which for me is incredibly rare.

The most interesting thing we did? Palmistry and a Tarot reading. I'm going to list the things that will apparently happen to me (as I do every year - but until now it was on a piece of paper) and if any happen, I tick them off. This year's reading was a mix of hilarious, intriguing, surprisingly appropriate, and downright alarming. To wit:
  • I am meant to be a teacher. Teaching is apparently my "true calling". One of the appropriate ones, given my recent doubts in regards to Medicine, plus the fact that teaching is quite high on my (admittedly quite long) list of possible alternative careers
  • I will travel overseas in the near future. Again, accurate, given my plans for Nepal.
  • There will be a "huge change in lifestyle" for me in the coming year. Yet another score for the psychic, what with the whole 'volunteering in a foreign country' thing. Ah, creature comforts, how I will miss thee.
Now's where we head past "reasonable doubt" barrier. Stay with me...
  • I'm going to get married. This year. ohhhh yes. Try ohhhh no. She was insistent. I tried suggesting that maybe she meant that I was going to be in a serious, committed relationship, but she would have none of it. MARRIED. Apparently 4 cards in the deck said so, and so did my heart line. Completely insane. But I guess if I go to Nepal and come home married, I'll eat my words.
Other than it was all general "unclutter your mind" ... "make room for new truths" etc etc etc.
Ok I am TIRED. sleep time.
