Present

I realised tonight that I never told you what Philippa got me for my birthday..

She got me a rather sexy new all-singing all-dancing 4G iPhone. I’m not a fan of gadgetry but I have to say I’m delighted with it. She says her thinking behind it is that I never have a signal on my naff old phone when I’m out, and the battery only lasts about ten minutes now, so at least now she knows she can contact me. 
I must have mentioned at some point about liking the writing of Isaac Asimov, because she also got me a gorgeous set of his collected works. It’s almost like a DVD boxset, except it’s made of lots of paper and you read it rather than watch it. It’s beautiful, and now I have all his stories I wonder how I ever survived life without them. All I need now is a shelf to keep them on. I’m almost tempted to bring forward our plans to buy a house, just so I can have them on display as soon as possible.

She also told me while we were away: “I don’t really care if we don’t get married soon, I’m just glad I’ve got you in my life, whether you’re my husband or not is irrelevant” and that was the best present of all!
