Woke up at 8:30am, as I had set an early alarm - basically I was supposed to head to St George Market to pick up 1kg of mutton. Long story short, mutton is hard to find here and my friend Mani found someone who supplies mutton to order - except they decide when, and it was today, one of the most busy days of this month. Got ready and was about to leave when I realized the door was dry and so it was a great opportunity to stick the hook to the door so I could mount the wreath back on it. Aunty Kitty called to wish us happy anniversary while I was sticking the hook. I spoke to her on speakerphone while sticking it, getting ready, leaving, and even riding to the market. Picked up the mutton, stopped for some last minute groceries (basically stuff on the list that I somehow forgot yesterday!), got home, changed, and left again, this time with Shruti and headed to Holywood ("The Dirty Duck") for our anniversary lunch. It was super good! After lunch, we walked in to the town centre, had a coffee at Cafe Nero, walked around a little more, browsed a few charity and antique shops, and then walked back to the motorbike. Wore our helmets and gloves, and at the very last moment, somehow managed to lock the bike keys inside the lockable fairing container! We took the train and then bus home, I changed, took a portable charger, headphones and the spare set of keys, hopped on to the bus and then train back to Holywood to unlock the bike, and ride it to do even more grocery shopping (I had forgotten some things off the list in my hurry to get home to get to lunch on time), then went to Jay's place to pick up his drill machine, bits and stuff, and finally got home at almost 9pm. What a day! Spent the rest of the evening with Shruti, watching youtube, talking, dancing, sorting records, clearing stuff from the living room. Not what most people would associate with celebrating an anniversary, but we did spend quality time together and that's what matters the most. Happy seventh anniversary to us!
