Today is me & Wayne's wedding anniversary. Two years ago today we were in Jamaica exchanging our vows (oh how I wish I was there today). To celebrate, we're going to London this weekend for dinner & a play and we'll most likely splurge on a posh hotel for a romantic night out. 
Our gift to each other is a painting we saw in a shop on the harbour. The best part is that we saw the painting on separate occasions and both thought about getting it for each other for our anniversary. I saw it a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it. It's of a couple kissing on a park bench. The rest of the painting is blurred and faded. To me, the simplicity of the the painting speaks volumes on what it's like when you're in love with someone and how sometimes, it feels like there's nothing else in the world but the two of you.
Wayne saw it last week and over the weekend, told me about it to be safe before buying it. It really struck me that he felt the same immediate reaction to it as I did. We're really different when it comes to art so, I find it incredibly romantic that we both love the painting so much. We're going to walk over and buy it tonight and I can't wait to hang it in our living room!
By the way - Happy Anniversary to our friends Aniela & Herman who were married on the very same day as Wayne and I!

We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground. I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school. They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way. They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'. They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime. They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact. I find this to be absurd. The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other childr...
