    She said yes! -Well she was bound to wasn’t she?

    Just a quick update to anyone with a passing interest & thanks for helping me with the various thoughts running around my head over the whole idea of the inevitability of pair bonding, engagement rings & combining finances.

    I took her to Port Douglas for a week & proposed on the beach under the moonlight. (Aww :love2: ) Decided not to give her the ring there & then, though I did suss out the one she wanted the week before. Turned out a good idea as we went to grab it yesterday & there were 2 more she took a fancy to. They were ½ & 1/3rd the price respectively. I waited with baited breath but of course she decided on the original , but at least I was prepared & I guess apathetic about the cost by then.

    I’d like to thank my sponsors Hutt-Mana Elektrickery Trust for their valued contribution. (For non wgtnions they paid out a chunk to residents when they wound up).
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Congratulations! well done that man!

    lucky you for getting your cheque so early too..

    still waiting for mine...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    hey good on ya dude. Despite my own dismal failure I stand in awe of the sanctity of the wedding vows . When you have the right woman that is
    I hope the relationship carries on as it has started out.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Thanks guys, no I wasn’t really as nervous as I thought I’d be. We were both pretty tired but I suggested we should go for a walk on the beach, suspecting she’d say another time, but she said ok so I thought, phew! I guess this is it.

    Continues as it started out? Well we were friends (& only friends) for ~ 6 years & she wanted to leave Auckland so I said to come stay with me which she did for a year. She then decided or planned as women seem to that maybe we would work together. So she moved out & played her card. Oh I resisted at first, put up a hell of a fight , but eventually I relented.

    Must be something in the Finlandia Vodka!
