December 18, 2005

Holding my breath for over a month

Really, there was only one thing I wanted to blog about, but keeping schtum was the order of the day until respective friends and families had been informed… but the embargo has been lifted, huzzah! Back-dated entries below.

Happy Christmas to you all, particularly those of you who stop by here regularly but whom I won’t be able to meet before Christmas. Have a great break! And I’ll try to be that bit more sociable in the new year, now that I’m not conducting surreptitious meetings with diamond brokers…

New forms

December the 5th saw myself and my sweetheart in Barcelona’s Park Guell, on a sunnier day than the one in this photo. Sufficiently sunny, in fact, to make a diamond ring sparkle like it was made entirely of light, especially when held in front of you by a kneeling and nervous boy.

Sufficiently blinded by the ring, she said yes. You hear that, internet? I’M ENGAGED!
