Just ask Amelie

Lost for words.

Deleted and deleted.

After the past few days I have asked myself what’s really the point? I think I have. Where are the big hearts? And there, today, the most beautiful wonder appeared – and I simply thought, well, I just can’t stop smiling. And I smiled and I smiled and I rang estate agents and rang and rang; and all the time I unwrapped beautiful beautiful pieces of pieces and handmade and japanese and the most incredible red bowl – and I didn’t have to think what have I done to deserve this – because I know.

The first thing I did was open the ring.

Hahha – and THAT was the story I was going to tell you. And that was the thing that made me smile and laugh and want to write before it all crashed (the computer) and I forgot.

So the other night I was SO annoyed – and driving home on the motorway – and was SO annoyed that I took my engagement ring off and it tried to stay on – but I chucked it out the window on the north western motorway. It tried to hold on – it’s been like the Lord of the Rings this ring for so long.

Beautiful but hideous and it’s always been a huge curse. And I chucked it and out it went and it was finally GONE.

I went to throw it in the water one night in rarotonga but the crabs were all chattery and I was terrified and ran away. And so many times I have tried to get rid of the damn thing. It’s been cursed. So chucking it out the window on the motorway was so choice; and to have this beautiful black ring arrive; with such lovely books. I have kept the pink things for Astrid tomorrow.

And I can’t believe the enormity of the chanel box. So in three weeks I shall ask the new black ring to get us a garden flat. Just like Amelie. You know how we decided to go to London? An Amelie question; if Ocado stocks Weleda we go to Europe. And guess what; they did, and so we are.

The Amelie method is most definitely the best way to make decisions.
If the courgettes are dark green today then I will go to London.
If the courgettes are yellow, we will go to Paris.

There; off you go and see what colour they are.

ps the wedding is still on. One day. And it will be here.
