Inside Saturday’s Guardian was a little box. And so in our bed, while the November wind danced around the windows, and Rex chased imaginary fairies around the room, Science Guy asked and I said yes. And then we were engaged.

Watts once said: any attempt to define oneself is like 'trying to bite ones own teeth'. Anyway. I am an ENTP, a Four, a Libran and a Water Ox; scatterbrained, organised, coulrophobic, messy, hopeful, sarcastic, optimistic, romantic.
I ♡ freshly ground black coffee, travelling on trains, white roses, hugs, finishing crosswords, steak medium-rare, a well-turned phrase, big-brained scientists, the departure lounge, my homemade marmalade on toasted crumpets, hand-written letters, the possibility of aliens, the possibility of god, remote New Zealand beaches, jazz trumpets, the colour red, rom-coms, the information superhighway, organic shapes, the poetry of ee cummings, the Bach cello suites of Yo-Yo Ma, ad-free content, picnics, pay day, and a good night's sleep.
I live London with the techie beekeeping paramour (ash) and the furs (rex & badger).

That’s so great sas, huge congratulations to you both. Good thinking Science Guy!
awwww… nice. Congratulations to you both.
It’s been apparent for some time that you made a good choice in Science Guy. Clearly, so has he now. Splendid news.
That is great. The second I saw the title of the post on my blog roll I figured this is what would be on it.
How lovely! And now we will get to watch the saga of how the Joining will progress. Hoping for lots of pondering over this, with your brilliant wit sprinkled throughout.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Congrats!
You totally deserve it.
Here’s to many many many years of happiness.
Where’s my ‘like this’ button? *Like this*

Congratulations, soon-to-be Mrs Science Guy!
Such a sweet story that, just this once, I can overlook the mention of The Guardian.
No need to thank me.
thanks so much bloggies (even you MLS).

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congrats lovely girl! xx
Just found your blog Sas, but wanted to say congratulations! What a lovely proposal, and a gorgeous ring to boot! Wishing you and Science Guy every happiness :)
Hurrah! So happy for you, congrats!
Well how wonderful is THAT? (And P.S. prettiest ring I ever did see!)Congratulations!
Holy crap that is awesome! Many, many congratulations. And don’t worry about the balloon in your next post, eventually it will turn from an Unburst into a Sag, and then you can breathe deeply again.
Congrats to both.
I am so happy for the both of you!
Congratulations!!
hugs
