The Boiled Egg of Infinity

Today my better half found her wedding dress. I don’t mean a nice dress, a good looking dress or a possible frontrunner. I mean she found the dress. The dress she’s going to be married in. She sent me away for a walk for a half hour as she went into the bridal shop and half an hour later, she stood in front of me grinning, shaking and crying all at the same time as she told me she had found her wedding dress. Not only had she found it, the staff let her try it on, she liked it and the staff thought she looked fantastic in it.

I wanted to talk about something else tonight. For once I have a lot of things I want to talk about, but I’m bumping all of them for this. Today I stood in a Glasgow street in the rain, with Christmas music playing, people passing by, and I held my wife to be in my arms as she cried with sheer happiness. Time enough for everything else later: sometimes it’s just good to be alive.
