Today, after are new routine of breakfast and prayer together, Tom and
I were half seriously looking through engagement rings. Tom said " I
really ought to get on with this" and a half hour of chatter and hugs
followed as Tom tried to pluck up the courage to ask. Then just as it
was time to go to work, the words "Will you marry me?" came tumbling
out. And I said Yes! Today has been a very happy day. After work we went ring shopping in West Quay as it was open late.
Ernest Jones was our first stop, and I had my ring finger sized, M as
it happens, and we looked through their selection of emerald rings.
The first one we saw we both liked, which was a first, but we thought
we better have a look around first. Nowhere else had anything we liked, though we did have fun getting Tom
some engagement cufflinks from John Lewis and in the end we went back
to Ernest Jones. It must have been fate as the ring was exactly my size, and Tom's
middle name is Ernest, and I am Alexandra Jones, and we both liked it!
So we bought it, and it sits here all sparkly and shiny on my finger
now. Tattinger with green curry for dinner, and this evening we have made a
start on the guest list, have planned hymns and readings and thought
of all kinds of fun things. I thank God for this handsome, funny, charming, caring man. As my gran
said today, you two are certainly made for each other!

A Work of Art Dress-Mod Cloth
via modcloth.com
I love this dress! Anyone want to buy it for me?
So what have I been up to? Still knitting away on my Broderie - http://twistcollective.com/collection/index.php/component/content/article/60-winter-2008-patterns/149-broderie-by-connie-chang-chinchio
I've also had some friends round for dinner where Tom made an awesome Coq Au Vin type chicken stew with pasta bow ties.
And other than that, not much else to report!

Tune of the Moment
via youtube.com
I heard this last night, in a warm glowly moment as I wrote birthday cards, added addresses and people to my address book. Tom was reading Sharpe and Louisa, our part - time housemate had her nose in a book too. We'd finished dinner and washed up a million bowls of cake batter and cooking. It was a homey happy little thought as I swayed gently to this tune.
Then I realised how sad the lyrics were and how they were the antithesis of what I was enjoying! Still it's a beautiful beautiful song!
