On Anniversary Gifts

A momentary panic averted.

The anniversary of my wedding approaches and I am thinking of suitable gifts for MLW.

Momentarily I forgot how long I have been married.

But a cunning trap I laid for myself ten years ago has helped me out.

I met MLW in October.

Shortly after I met MLW I got a new phone and a new phone number.  I was offered a choice of numbers by the sales person and chose one that ended in 28, my age at the time. I thought this would help me remember the number.

From this I know that I have known MLW for My Current Age – The Last Two Digits of My Phone Number.  I am currently 38. Therefore I have known MLW for ten years.  We courted for one year. During discussions to mark our first year as a couple we became engaged and were engaged for one year – almost exactly. Therefore we have been married for eight years.

This anniversary will be our eight anniversary. 

Bronze according to Wikipedia or Salt.

I shall buy MLW Greece. That’s a place with a strong association with Bronze and the Sea.
