Paper

Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary. We've been married for a year now. We went out for a meal at an all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant in the evening, which was pretty good. We dispensed with tradition and didn't get each other presents made of paper - I got Alison a pasta spoon and some tongs, and she got me an adjustable spanner. And they said romance was dead!

So... a year of marriage. It's been pretty cool all told. We're settling in OK and things are going well. I think I'm a better person for being married too, so that's definitely a good thing.

While we're on the subject of marriage, my dad sent me the tape of the sermon I gave on marriage the other week. You can download an mp3 of it here if you want. It's not terribly good quality, though that is because it's gone from a radio mic to analogue tape to my PC to a low bitrate mp3, but it should be good enough. Just don't laugh at my voice. I'll cry. Or something. Oh yeah, and the reading for the sermon is Ecclesiastes 4:7-12, which it's probably worth reading if you want to understand some of what I'm going on about. Enjoy.
