Through a combination of the effects of my malaria medication and the altitude, I asked Catherine to marry me last night, and she said 'yes'. This makes me (and hopefully her) very happy. For those that are interested in such things, it was on the steps of the beautiful church in the town square in Cafayate, on a very warm late-spring evening. I had an ice cream in my hand. Just when we though that nothing could spoil the moment, a puppy threw up on the steps right behind us (Catherine had given it some of her cone).
We've both learnt something valuable here: Don´t take medication at altitude, and there must be some other sort of dog-friendly ice cream cones on the market, the same as with chocolate.

Hi Phil and Catherine,
ReplyDeleteThat is such good news - we are so glad to hear that the puppy was ok after being sick!
Oh, and as for the engagement, we are over the moon for the both of you and the setting (very important) sounds quite romantic - except of course for the sounds of a vomiting puppy.
Take care, we will look forward to your next missive. xxx
Hi to you both.
