Whoever said that romance goes out of the marriage after a few years needs to rethink. Flower and dance routine apart there's nothing that's complicated about romancing.
Looking back at the times we've (myself and wifey dearest) had as a couple, the most memorablemoments are those that we spent doing things like cooking a meal,collecting sea-shells at the beach, going half-way across town just to eat golgappas from a particular stall...the list is long but not forgotten.
I probably have said this before in FRIENDS and it holds true in this context as well;the key is to create one more such moment to reminisce.
I recently switched jobs and had to move from one city to another. Unfortunately that has meant spending time away from each other. The proximity has helped as we atleast get to meet on weekends. While I've taken up an apartment it's not furnished and that helped us create another memory.
What I'm about to narrate might seem to many as mundane but for us this is an addition to our list of memorable moments.
To cut a long story short, it was a weekend at a new place with not many friends..obviously the plan was to have a couple of drinks. So we went out bought some vodka and juice and got back home only to realise that we had no glasses!
Determined to stick to our plan, we eventually found a solution. Strangely enough while we were shopping we'd picked up a kitchen knife! We cut out the bases off the Kinley bottles and made glasses out of them. Term us what you may but it was fun.
As usual I'll close this one with a couple of lines from a relatively unknown song of Minnie Riperton (more popular for her song Loving You).
"The simple things
The lovely simple things
The sunset and the dawn
The simple things
The lovely simple things
I could go on and on and on
For the simple pleasures
Are worth more than treasures
That your paper money ever bring
This song is old, this song is new
This song is me, this song is you
I like to play out in the rain
I like the sun to shine again
And again and again
Each day so many things to see
And I'm so glad I am me
And you, my friends, are pretty too
And I'm so glad that you are you"
