Planning huge suprises is fun. If you do not have a fixed date — e.g. a birthday — then you can even skip the stress with it. You have plenty of time to wait for the right time, if something gets in the way, you can let it go. You can, because the “target” doesn’t have a clue — after all, that is the essence of surprise. So I waited after my last salary arrived from the ministry, waited for a nice morning when I was in my shopping mood. I visited my favorite jewelry shop, and I bought a nice, silver ring with turquoise  opals  (since turquoise is V.’s favorite color). I bought chicken wings, fried them with chilli and tabasco, made a nice salad, cleaned the flat — I even had time to have a shower. And when she arrived home, she still thought I was just being nice.

I was really lucky, because I really had an opportune moment for the actual engagement. She looked at me and asked: what are you thinking about? This time I could come up with a really unique answer. We had chamagne and fun after dinner. And now I have a fiancée.

I love being so old.
