On this day (well ok, tomorrow)



1959 was the year that Gigi won the best Picture Osar at the Academy Awards.



On 26th September, 1959 Typhoon Vera hit central Honshu (Japan) killing more than 5,200 people.


However, 26th September,1959 was also the day that Norma Pullan walked up the aisle of Rathfarnham Parish Church and walked back down the aisle a little later as Norma Henderson.


 The big party takes place tomorrow night (50 years to the day later) - it's probably the one event that will be taking place while I'm in Indonesia that I really feel I shouldn't be missing. 

Happy Golden wedding Anniversary, Norma & Gordon (aka Mum & Dad) !!!

Have a great party !
