That Long Dark Mystery Ride

Spent a small part of the afternoon at the wedding of a colleague having a thoroughly good time: excellent food and live music, from a band who really could play, in the traditional Malay manner - Orkes Mutiara they called themselves, and if the Missus and I were ever to re-marry we would book them. The whole event, staged in a community centre, was pretty classy, and on the one day of the year when I most assuredly think back to the Saturday many years ago now that my life took a dramatic turn for the better, I hope it presages the kind of happiness these occasions sometimes foreshadow for the couple concerned.
