GOOD THINGS/RUBY TUESDAY: 26 years and 3 days since I met Mr H
A few days ago on dear prudence Kelly posted about me (yes, little old me!) and referred to Mr H as the elusive husband.

Well, Kelly got that right ... Mr H is totally elusive. I remember meeting Wendy a few year's back and mentioning Horace after we'd seen each other pretty regularly for about a fortnight and she assumed I was single. Mr H is elusive because he likes it that way ... and I respect that.

But I thought I'd bring him out into the sunlight, and polish him off a little ... after all we just had our 26 years and 3 day anniversary since we met.


My most recent craft project ... a series of hearts for a cushion. Rather apt, I thought, given the season (Valentine's) and the post.

People always assume we must have met somewhere exotic given Mr H isn't Australian born. But no ... we met at a friend's wedding anniversary in St Kilda in Melbourne.

And what's the secret to being together for so long when most relationships don't seem to make it past the seven year itch?

I think it's tolerance and being interested/respectful towards your partner ... oh, and not making your partner responsible for your happiness. You have to be equals and both want it to work.

Love you Mr H.
