Forty Years

Way back in 1982 I was in the final year of my B.Ed. Degree. I applied for approximately 100 jobs - all hand written as technology hadn’t been invented. I had applied to The Hundred of Hoo in the February time I think and heard sweet FA so forgot about it and kept on applying. At the beginning of June I received a letter inviting me for interview for Teacher of Art at HoH so off I trolled for said interview on 16 June 1982.
While there I spied the Pottery teacher.
First glance I thought he was a sixth former and a pretty rude one at that. But very quickly realised he wasn’t and so I wasn’t a perv.
And so the story started.
Today we celebrate 40 years of being in each other’s lives and what fucking lovely lives they have been. Thank you Mr Swift, for giving me the job ( apparently because I was clean shaven. The other candidate had a beard )

In other news we went out for lunch with old friends from HoH and reminisced about all sorts of things.
Today was a good day.
