• 08:46:36: Good morning, all. Grey here in London; HWMBO finding jetlag difficult.
  
• 08:47:22: Dreamed I was in church and smelled incense-never smelled anything in a dream before. Anyone else had a dream and smelled something in it?

Five years ago today…

…HWMBO and I contracted our civil partnership at Southwark Register Office. I had suggested February 15th but HWMBO said to the Registrar: "How about February 14th?" I scoffed. "Everyone will want to be married that day—there won't be a slot." But the Registrar smiled and said, "We have plenty of slots available for the 14th."

And so it happened. The report, with pictures, is here.

I decided that instead of buying a card I'd buy some tulips at Tesco. When I got them home I discovered that they had not only been out of water a bit too long, but I would have to cut them down quite a bit to keep them in the vase I could find. No matter, HWMBO liked them anyway.

I am the luckiest guy on the planet. I hope that all of you who celebrate Valentine's Day had a very good one, and those of you who have yet to find your Valentine do so, if you want to.
