So I have two, not one but TWO bits of news.
Firstly the bad, the big project that was going to set me jetting around Australia and New Zealand has been canned. I obviously can’t go into details but I certainly made the best effort I could, and am disappointed it was stopped after I invested over a year into it. It also means I need to somehow fulfill the promise ‘to come see everyone’ that I’ve been making. I am definitely going to Brazil now, and that is only in a month (eeek!!!) and I am now thinking that I will travel anyway to some places, if I can afford it. Certainly to see the HUMBUG dudes, and we are part of a road trip going to see GLUG in a month (Goonellabah, apparently near Lismore?). We’ll see…
The good, nay wonderful news, is that Jeff proposed to me last night. Whether I said yes or no I’m going to make you wait 🙂 but he took me to a small secluded beach we both love, and had me thinking we were doing something fun and adventurous so I _completely_ did not see it coming (much to the incredulous looks of our families who have known for “ages”). What can I say, I was given little clue and he is a good magician 😉 Anyway, we had candles on the sand, moonlight above, and I accepted. I have to say I am extremely happy and relaxed about it.
Friends, Lovers, Warriors and Partners in Crime, for big and small. Love is a wonderful thing.
