I cooked Philippa a meal tonight and did ‘the big reveal’ of the shoulder work! She didn’t even notice the difference at first, but then said “Oh my God! That looks fantastic! I can’t believe you went back and got it fixed - you cried like a 2-year-old when we first had them done!”
Even allowing for that ego-shatter it was still a lovely reaction. I think, deep down, she was as disappointed and hurt as I was when the original design went wrong, but she hid the feelings from me because she knew I was devastated and she thought, like I did, there was nothing we could do about it.
She spent the rest of this evening staring at it and saying how proud she felt, and what a hero I was for having it done properly, and how much she loved me, and it all got very romantic and lovely and led to things that I’d rather not share in this blog posting.
Suffice to say, I am very happy, very pleased with myself, and very sleepy.
Goodnight.
