My Current Obsession

So I warned Charlotte that the closer it gets to my birthday (April.. feel free to stay away), the more crazy I get.

It only started when I started seeing the wrong side of 25.

As soon as my birthday approaches, I am convinced that I am wasting my life away and henceforth need to change everything about my life.

This year, I think it might be necessary to commit me to a home.  As I am now almost fully convinced that I want to live in the 1950s.

I've always felt like I was born in the wrong era, and my friends have always called me an old soul, but I think I might be taking things a step too far.

I know logically, there is no possible way for me to live in the 50s, but I cannot seem to get the idea out of my mind.

It seems like such a simpler lifestyle.  No phones, no internet, no judgemental looks when you take out your knitting on public transport - all things I'm pretty sure I can do without.

So what brought on this case of insanity?

Could it be that one of my favourite songs is Moon River - Andy Williams. 

No!

Could it be that back home I have a wonderful vinyl collection which includes all Beatles albums?

Not a chance!

How about my love of sewing and knitting/crochet?

Surely Not!

Why it is because I have started watching Call The Midwife?

You bet your bottom dollar!

A show based on the memoirs of a midwife Jennifer Worth back in the 1950s in the East End, London.  It's so beautifully shot and the outfits are amazing.  Not a booty short in sight, it was a world where woman in beautiful dresses were considered sexy.  Where gentlemen existed and weren't just a figment of our imaginations.

Where the music was honest, and not talking about "shawtys in the club" but asked a more simple question.  "Why do fools fall in love?"

Where instead of slut drops and grinding, waltzing was the norm.

So with my poor housemates not standing a chance, they are now forced to put up with 50s music blasting from the kitchen while I bake and crochet on the sofa.  Am I sorry?  Not for a second!  Do I hope this phrase passes quickly?  Perhaps its for the best.

But will I ever stop loving Moon River?

 No

Will I ever stop collecting vinyl? 

Not a chance

Will I ever stop sewing and knitting? 

Surely not

Will I ever stop watching Call the Midwife?  

Never!
