Looked, leaping

Martin and I had been talking since November about him coming over here to stay. The big hitch on this is getting him a work permit so we could both work and have proper lives and things while trying out the whole "living together" thing and being a normal couple. Well, I decided on the easier route for that and proposed when I was in England. He accepted and now, fuckin' hell!, we're all planning a wedding and stuff.

It's all very odd.

We're going for something small (hopefully) and with luck we'll be able to webcast it so everyone we've ever met in person or online can "attend" as well. And it suits us and our relationship thus far to do something like that. Our "official" announcement was on The Richard Vobes Radio Show so it's hard to get geekier than that! I guess we could try though. Maybe we could exchange USB hubs instead of rings. Hmm.

The London Trip - LONG POST

The Doc and I had the following email exchange yesterday: The Doc: I just noticed, I can't find your England Report on your blog, you say you will tell people what happened but I can't find the actual info Teru: Hmm, I should put that up, shouldn't I The Doc: Only if you want to go into details about your booty call ;-) Teru: Hmmm, I'm still uncertain about how much information I want to share on the web. It might get me more readers though :) The Doc: Don't mind what you tell people, let them know how badly I was at sex, I don't care... tell them how you got ill and had to be cared for. tell them about the time I ran out of money and had to ask for NTL to put my money back into my account. you have my consent. Anything you want. But most importantly of all you MUST tell people how much I love you, and how much I smiled and how much we kissed in public. Oh and don't forget the meet and the reading bit. Since he said I could tell all, so

The machine works!

I replaced the belt on the sewing machine last night, fired it up and she works a treat! I still haven't oiled anything yet, but I'm already planning a real, non-hankie project. I just ordered this skirt from Davenport and Company in Springfield. Fantastic email customer service by they way if you ever decide to order anything. This looks like it should be easy enough for me to muck about with using whatever fabric I can find around the house before I go buy something nice. The next project I'm contemplating is a vintage jumper with an Ubuntu logo embroidered on it for spouse. That will probably take a while though, and I still have a few other things to finish first. I promise I'll get the pictures of the tea cozies I made over Christmas plus the one I'm working on now.

And so it begins again
