lioness in japan

Sorry for the long absence — I’m finally back from my hiatus and this post is definitely a lot happier than the last. I’m still struggling with a deluge of emails, photos, teaching, Beauty Box matters, and adjusting to Tokyo’s cold and dry winter after a whole month of sunny weather. Watch out for new posts coming up…

For the sake of my blog readers, I’m making this announcement, so sorry to you folks on Facebook who got this news already (I link my RSS feed to my FB profile).

The kangaroo surprised me with a proposal on a deserted beach in Goyambokka, a slice of paradise in the south of Sri Lanka, near Tangalle.

Some folks thought it was about time (we’ve been together for over six years) and some considered it was a miracle (the kangaroo was a self-declared, anti-kids bachelor), but I kind of expected it because there were lots brewing in his mind in the past few months…But not so soon…

He was quite the detective — ferreting around my costume jewellery to check for ring sizes; trying to get hold of my dad’s mobile phone number; and not raising any suspicion on my part. He loves surprises, as you can see, but you know, so do I.

No, he did not go on bended knee, and no I didn’t cry. We took the photo above just after I said, “Yes!” We couldn’t stop grinning and I had a million questions for him.

Here’s the beautiful ring he got me — it’s the prettiest thing I own.
