An important announcement...

Yes. I've done something silly, old and romantic. As this is posted (2pm on Monday), Tania, John and I will be on the London Eye's Champagne flight. She doesn't know anything about it, and it's for a special occasion.

Yes, just for you girlies, this is a picture of an engagement ring. 9 carat white gold, with 7 (count 'em) diamonds inlayed.

Yes, engagement ring. I'm asking Tania to marry me. Her mother knows all about it, and has given me her blessing. So all that remains to find out is if she says yes. Watch out for my facebook status if you want to know the answer.

(No, I don't know if she will either. I'm writing this on Friday night before we leave for London. Wish me luck.)
