Astro camps are just time off for good behavior. I got married on 8th March 1980 and have since spent nearly every aniversary fishing, usually without her although this year we are going away to Port Lincoln together.
I must be getting old and slow.

Oh, she says, what dates
23 till 27 I say
Do you recall any significant event happening in amongst those dates.
No, I say, as my mind recalls that we got married last year on March 26.
I told you about it, I say
Do you really think we'd be having this conversation now if you'd already told me, she says.
Ship appeared to be sunk at that moment. No escape from the reporachful and hurt looks. I offered her she could come too and then had to admit I didn't actually mean that.
Gina had booked the honeymoon suite we spent our first night in for the Sat 24th night and paid the deposit.
I tried to explain astro camp happens in a date free environment. I got "tsks" and eye rolling. Thank goodness we were in public.
Anyway, bless her sweet sweet heart - she changed it this morning to the following weekend.
All is right with the cosmos again!
phew (and to think I'm bringing a new/secondhand camera to be modded. I got that delivered to work so she need never see it!)
