The Man had to go into work this morning, which was a shame but it happens sometimes. By the time he got home, the Boy had been whisked off for a roller skating outing at Guptills with his buddy. He tells us he did 31 laps or more of (
you'll remember) the world's biggest roller skating rink. The rest of us decided to go swimming, and followed that up with a few turns around the ice-rink - even the Man, though of course he lacks the intensively tutored grace on ice of the Girl and - ahem - me. Then what with a library visit and a trip to the supermarket, the short-by-an-hour day had pretty much been filled.
If you're puzzled by the title, I do know it's not the 12th today (and far be it from me to encourage you to go and shoot a grouse, anyway). But it is our twelfth wedding anniversary - glory be.
On the subject of enduring lurve, who can guess what this - seen in Seoul - is all about?
Looks like there are lots of tiny padlocks involved...no, you'll have to tell us what this is!
ReplyDeleteIs it a wedding dress with "presents" attached?
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the padlocks, Avril - but what can it all mean? I'll give you another day or so to think about it...
ReplyDeleteThey are called "Locks of Love", and they form a sort of ongoing popular art installation on Namsan Bridge, representing people's undying love for each other, as described on all the little notes attached to the locks.
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it you're supposed to lock the padlock on and then throw away the key - what the ones with the combination locks are telling us I'm not sure...
ReplyDeleteThe Locks of Love equivalent of a pre-nuptial agreement, maybe?
