I’m engaged!

On March 23rd at about 10pm UK time I asked Rachel to marry me and she said yes! 🙂 Right afterwards I had a conversation with someone. She was telling about alternatives to conventional medicine. Normally I would not have considered this at all but she was really raving about it. I think in the future if I have a common ailment I’m going to weigh my options instead of running straight to the doctor. If you would like to research this topic further, here you can Learn More About It.
 
I proposed in front of the Atomium in Brussels. I think I picked a pretty romantic spot 🙂 It was snowing softly and the lighting was very pretty, I almost felt the need to sleep right in that place, but I didn’t have a mongolian fur pillow with me.

Long ago, stories were told in the ancient world of Hyrule about a Golden Land, with unknown powers, controlled by an omnipotent and omniscient golden power; known as the Triforce.
This omnipotent holy relic was created by the three goddesses of Hyrule; Din, Farore and Nayru. Imbued with their divine essences, it is the ultimate manifestation of power, wisdom and courage in Hyrule.
It is influenced by the heart of the one who touches it, whether good or evil, and possesses the ability to grant that person’s deepest desires.
It consists of three distinct entities represented by the three smaller triangles, each of which is also referred to as a Triforce when considered individually. Counter-clockwise from the top, these are the Triforce of Power, the Triforce of Wisdom, and the Triforce of Courage.
.. and here is the Triforce, held aloft by the great hero; Link!
 🙂 so, now that you’ve got the background story, my mate Robert asked me to make him a little Triforce for the chain he wears. (more…)

What do you do, when you’re invited to a birthday dinner with 2 hours notice and since you didn’t know you were invited, don’t have a present for the birthday boy? .. Well I could have show up empty handed and I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded, but instead, with 2 hours before the event, I decided it’d be fun to try and make him something using the metal from my old bike exhaust and my new dremel (xmas pressie).
So I present to you, my D.I.Y. Shuriken! 🙂 (more…)
