Silver Medalists

Today, 10 October 2023, the Mauritian and I celebrate 25 years of marriage. We have talked, argued, agreed and disagreed, we have cajoled, convinced, pleaded and ignored, and we have laughed, screamed, yelled and cried our way through those 25 years. Together! Looking back over that time we have managed to create so many memories. We don’t seem to remember the same memories the same way, but, we managed to create a lot of them! We have disagreed about so much more then we have agreed about. We have very different views on parenthood, but our girls are polite, respectful and well balanced. I hope! We like different music, movies and people. Okay, okay, I like a lot fewer people than the Mauritian does. The Mauritian likes being surrounded by people and socialising, I like my own company best. We have very different attitudes about, well, everything. The Mauritian loves to cook, the kitchen and I barely tolerate one another. The Mauritian resets himself in the gym,
