technolog's tales of domestic bliss, DIY & other nonsense

Just two weeks after Newcastle, we knew we"d both fallen, hook, line & sinker. Dawn took the daunting step of telling her family and made the following beautiful & touching post:

A few years on and a crushed heart mended. Who woulda thunk it possible? Lucky.com much?
As you may have gathered, there have been some new developments in Laxieland. Totally unexpected but very much of the "excellent" variety.
Never in a month of Sundays saw this coming and did all in my power to make sure I wouldn"t fall for anyone again. But turns out, not all falls are bad ones. And sometimes it takes a bad fall to find that special someone who picks you up, dusts you off and says, "It"s going to be ok."
I swore I"d never let anyone break the wall to my heart again. But things change with time...and so have I. And the wall has been well and truly broken. Go figure.

Obviously the family knows or it wouldn"t be posted here. As happy as I am personally, it wasn"t easy. We"d 22 years of life put down together and that"s no small shake. A tough few chats were had. First was with Timothy last week....and then the kids at the week-end. We all knew it was coming eventually but Sarah said it best, "I"m just glad I don"t have to wonder "when" any more."

Not going to get too deep into the family side of it right now. Who said what and how we all reacted is between us. Maybe some day, looking back I"ll decide it needs saying. But for now...enough"s been said.
Timothy and I lost that special bond between us, as a couple, a long while ago. But we"ve something more precious than that in our three kids. And regardless of anything else, those three will be protected and nurtured by both of us, as a team, for as long as we"re both alive. Won"t always be under the same roof, but we"ll never be too far away. Regardless of what the future holds, that much we agree on completely.
My wish is that we"ll all be able to look back with pride on how we handled things when our directions in life changed. Nothing in life is certain. God knows I"ve learned that lesson - big style. But I"m fairly certain we"ll manage that wish. Despite everything, we"re a good lot really.

Typical Dawn. A musical interlude in the midst of the emotional stuff. I gotta say I LOVE the sentiment of this song. If ever anyone deserved to be happy, it"s Dawn.

Now then. A brief musical interlude while I go hoover and mop the floors.

So who is this insane man who"s decided it might be ok to put up with me and more importantly, managed to get me to "feel" again?
I"ll give ya some clues....
Has a heart of pure gold - mine was broke, but he"d LOTS of super glue.
He"s a member of blonde and APAT - so am I! Go figure.
He"s a bit quiet - yeah...I know. We won"t go there.
