2024 July 20: 33rd Anniversary!

In four months, it'll be a third of a century of marriage. Four after that, two thirds of a century of my life. Work that out: the dates are a week apart, so in a few days, I'll have been married for exactly half of my life! We are very tender together, today, grateful for all we've had - most of all, each other. We look out from our aerie above the best place in the world, just soaked in gratitude and contentment - and pride, at what we've built!

Utopia has its garbage cans, I'm sure, and ours has this guy, three doors down the street, grinding away at some bad concrete on a neighbour building, an irritating noise even that far away. It'll probably be for some time, there seems to be a lot of bad concrete.

Beside him, yesterday's visitor to our corner window, also enjoying the view - and the captured insects. As long as I don't have to close the window, she's welcome to stay, and keep the aerial vermin down.


And I just love this image of summer! There's very little watering in the park, but they make a special exception for the floral garden south of the lagoon. The perfect sunny summer pic.
