Thank you all for your kind wishes. We have made it to the end of two weeks of marriage and no-one has lost (permanently) their wedding rings yet. Surely this is a good sign.

Ahhh…. very nice. I love that image of Mt Taranaki – so reminiscent of many early European paintings of the mountain. The real thing is scarcely less spectacular.

I’m also feeling just a little envious at present. Perhaps we should be finding the money to buy one, or even some, of these pieces when we are home in NZ in December.

It reminds me, in honour of the most salient current topic on the blog, that Mum told me this morning that she and Dad bought their first artwork on the way back from their honeymoon, with the money they had left. What a great way to spend that particular sum I thought.

The eponymous one, with the vases. It was either that or ‘negotiating the boundaries’. Herakles writes home was tragically sold out. It was a tough decision anyhow.

Hear, hear. I might frame the poem next to the picture.

(Yes, we went ahead and bought one. Deferring the conversation on whether we could actually afford it to a later date. This is all your fault, Deborah, you know that, right?)

You lovely individuals have made a lovely couple and seem very happy, and I hope that state of affairs lasts and lasts.

Stick that in yer pipe and ironise it

Also, I would like to single out this sentence — “I am considering the possibility that in returning to normalcy I have in fact gone a bit mad.” — for special praise as having wide applicability to many people, places, and circumstances.
