Our Anniversary. 29 years! We've been together since 1983, and got married in 1995.
We celebrated by buying a dodo lamp. The dodo is the symbol of Mauritius where we got married. We used to have a wooden dodo ornament that we bought back with us, it was one of the things we lost in all the moves. So, when I saw the lamp it made sense to buy it and replace that with something more functional. As dodos are extinct, ie dead, it fits in with rest of our "unliving" collection.
We went into town with Charlotte to the Slug and Lettuce ( the one in Trinity Square) for lunch. It wasn't too far for us and Charlotte to walk, as we got the tram up.
The food was lovely, and we split a bottle of prosecco between us.
We had a quick look in TK Maxx before coming home. The stock on the Halloween section is running down now, you can tell, so there won't be much more decor hunting to be had. I resisted buying anything else. I have party stuff to get now.
Later on we watched the start of Agatha all Along on Disney Plus. Kev had bought some more LED remote controlled candles and sitting here with all the soft lighting is so soothing. I do like when the nights draw in for that reason, and I am a fan of flameless candles, not only are they safer, but I like setting a timer and not having to go around turning them off individually. Thanks to Tim Holtz for being the person who first showed them off on one of his home tour videos...
