The World Cup is underway and so is winter in our neck of the woods. The past few weeks have seen lots of wind, rain and burrowing under the doona along with a ridiculous amount of red wine consumption. Oh, don't look at me like that. A girl has to keep warm, you know.
It's also seen my 2nd anniversary with the lovely Tom roll by. Despite the poor boy receiving an immense amount of pressure to propose from my girlfriends, he's still going out with me. Seems they want a wedding to go to and have decided that we're the most likely candidates even though neither of us is in a hurry to appease them. It has got to the point where I'm quite enjoying teasing them with text messages of a Saturday night along the lines of 'I said yes..... to dessert!'
We celebrated the two year milestone with a beautiful dinner at David's and I was spoiled with the gift of a bright red filing cabinet. Red, as some of you may have gathered, is my favourite colour and as I've plans to start my own business later this year, a filing cabinet was at the top of my wishlist. I spent all of Monday night happily transferring and alphabetising files from my concertina folders into the cabinet. I was in obsessive-compulsive HEAVEN and Tom knew it.
He's got past form for giving outstanding presents. Last year on our anniversary Tom cooked me dinner, followed by dessert of vanilla bean ice cream with not one, but two versions of ice magic - chocolate and mint chocolate. Ice magic has been my favourite ice cream topping since I was a kid and I often have trouble choosing between chocolate and mint chocolate. Two entire bottles ALL to myself? (Again) HEAVEN!
Whilst filing cabinets and ice cream topping may not seem the most romantic of gifts to some, to me they are the very epitome of romance and consideration. Any geezer can buy roses and jewellery but how many people, men and women alike, consider the small details that make their partner's day?
He keeps this up, I can guarantee I will say yes... to dessert.
And perhaps other things, too.

I don't actually know you in RL but I cannot believe 2 years has flown by so quickly since you and Tom found each other!
Well done and congrats...red filing cabinets are drool worthy ;)
It's funny Jayne, I often feel like I know my blogfriends in RL. Thank you for your lovely words - it surprises me that it's been 2 years already.
And yes, this filing cabinet is STUNNING!
Two years already! Sheesh, I remember the previous one(s). Now I am going to surprise friends with a suggestion to dine at Davids. Sounds a little like Red Door in Windsor.
I prefer those "little detail" gifts too.
He sounds like a great guy. I hope you enjoy MANY more years together.
Time flies when you're having fun. He does sound that rarity - a man with imagination. Hang on tight;)
Good girl! We congratulate you both. Carry right on enjoying life.
Warm regards, Mike and Ann.
LOL that's cute!
if he had gotten you a label maker also, i'm sure you would've said yes (and not to dessert) right away!
congrats on the anniversary!!
Andrew, and remember the one before that one, too? More to the point, I can't believe our lovely blog friendship has been longer than 2 years. The years have gone a-whooshing.
David's is little bit more stylish indoors than Red Door and service is very attentive. It's owned by the same mob from Ai Oriental Teahouses. I recommend a visit.
Thank you, Dina. He is rather special, so I hope so too. BTW, love the decade of your life post!
Pat, at the risk of sounding like a bunny boiler, I'm not letting him go anywhere.
Thank you, Mike & Ann. I daresay the two of you set a pretty good example in that regard.
Ling, a labelmaker! Oh my! I'd have gone into conniptions and would still be in the study marking everything we own. Thank you my dear.
Great blog!!!
I disagree with the colour or is not important to romance.romance is filled with two people.
Dating for parents

Red Color is not for LOVE & ROMANCE
