Danyl & Maggie

I don't think I have any photos of Danyl and Maggie. This will have to do. If you know them you can try and guess which is which. Actually there is no correct answer because this is a picture of soft toys.

When Cathy and I came back from Japan, Danyl and Maggie put us up in their spare room. They were very good to us. Unfortunately, some time later I melted down for awhile and

I hit a grumpy patch.

Danyl and Maggie got married a few weeks ago and they are now on holiday in India. Their wedding was very nice. I say that as a person who generally think weddings aren't nice. Their wedding was. I think everyone there enjoyed themselves. I think they are perfectly matched and maybe even an anti-conventional cumdgeon like Danyl will see (or has seen, I don't want to come off as patronising because I am absolutely clueless) that marrying is a public symbol of something private and very important. When I was younger I thought that other things were important (being cool for example), but love is really the most important thing. I mean love that is companionship and respect not pop song love. Robust respect, where you don't let people get away with shit.

Do you know why I started this? It was because I was reading through my old posts (vain?) and I saw that Danyl had actually told Richard and myself what happened to Jeremy, but Richard and I had failed to notice. If Richard really cares he could go back and look... apparently Jeremy's much saner now (unless you give him sugar) and probably doesn't throw bottles off roofs anymore.

Anyway, while Danyl and Maggie are safely overseas I think I can apologise for the grumpy patch, and wish them all the best.
