Embarrassing moments no. 1

A million years ago I had a crush on a boy at school. I can't remember his name now but he had a car and offered to drive me home from school.
So, I was 5' 7'' and as skinny as a zipper and about 15.
Getting panty hose to fit was always a bit of a prob. Either the crutch was down around my knees or the waist was up to my neck.
I chose a tight pair this day that I prayed wouldn't fall down.
When we got home I started to get out of the car, elegantly, one leg at a time.
Unfortunately, my tights split and the sound was like a horse farting.
Haven't seen the bloke since. I can't begin to imagine what he told his friends.

Oldy Mouldy

I'm 54 today. I'm really happy.
I've been cooking for ages all the kids are coming over
Isn't that the best bit.
Beautiful boys, best ever partners.  I'm so excited.
Lets do the age thing.........
One of my closest friends is in her nineties,
My mother is about to be eighty, she's just gorgeous
Went to a wonderful party for an 83 year old buddy.
Think I should get on a cruise and feel young and beautiful. (Everyone else on board is about 200)
Spent the day with old friends.
54 and Fabulous

Back to Paradise

Talofa,
Sent all the kids a phrase a week to learn, just so that we could get in to the vibe of the place.
A couple of my favourites were.....
Someone has miss used the umu
Follow the broken yam
There are too many eels in my hovercraft
I just loved saying  'fa a mole mole mole' (you have to pronounce each vowel - remember the Austin Powers movie and the guy with the big mole) It actually means many thanks.
Didn't think the capital Apia was much chop.  We actually called it Apiyabum .
Rest of the island divine.

Ya know a Samoa

We took all our family to Samoa after Chrissy.
Dear God that's a long squishy flight.
Bit late checking in, that happens when 8 people are on one ticket and there are several surf boards.
Anyway, finally through customs and immigration. Six of us head straight to the nearest bar. Two very sensible people get on board.
Phone rings, it's Sam, "Mum, dad where are you?" "We're in the bar of course" "Well the flight's about to leave and they can't find you"
OOOPS.
Next thing we hear is ......"Could the de Teliga family , Miss Sauer, and  Mr. Rick please board the flight to Samoa".
Rick just loved that his name was called out.  Anyway we ran to the plane and my advice to the gang was find your seat and make no eye contact with anyone.
Thank god for the boys, They had the hip flasks and Mark supplied the xanex.
Fabulous flight.
Arrived in paradise.
