Yesterday, (21st April,) was our Silver Wedding Anniversary, an event we had originally planned to celebrate by having a party for family, friends and the Nelsonica team. Obviously, the Coronavirus lockdown has put paid to that idea, as has the very sad passing of my mother which overshadows our mood at the moment.
To 'put the tin lid on it' as they say, I suffered a nasty fall yesterday, twisting my ankle and receiving cuts, gashes and sprains to various body parts. My ankle is currently swollen and painful and I can't walk without intense discomfort so it looks like I'm housebound for more reasons than the social distancing required by the lockdown.
I was also meant to travel to Wakefield to deal with the sorting out and clearing of my mother's home but that will now have to wait a few days until I get my mobility back.
Feeling fed up and depressed but Emiko continues to be my shining light. Her love and care for my well being never ceases to astonish me. Why she would love such a muggins as me is beyond comprehension, but I love her dearly and am deeply grateful that she shares her life with me. We've known each other and had a deep relationship longer than the 25 years of our actual marriage, but it's lovely to reach the Silver Wedding marker. I'm nothing without her.

Happy anniversary! Beautiful pictures of you guys. I hope you heal soon. Best wishes.
Many Congratulations to you Bill and Emiko on reaching this milestone in your relationship and may you enjoy many more years together in the times to come.
So sorry to hear about your fall, hope you’ll be fully recovered soon and also that you will be able to have a celebration more befitting of the occasion in the near future, once we’re all out of the present situation.
Many thanks for posting those lovely pictures and wonderful to see you both together in Clarence Park - if I’m not mistaken. It’s great for your avid followers to see you ‘going back to your roots’ in your hometown of Wakefield and the old Northern Dream stomping ground; especially when it’s shared with the ‘love of your life’!
Very best wishes to you both for better days ahead.
Wishing you both a wonderful anniversary! And hoping that you mend soon, Bill.
Hope you feel better soon Bill.
Congratulations to you both, on your Silver Wedding Anniversary.
My own mum and dad were married 57 years, so you have a long way to go yet.
All the best.
Many Congratulations Bill and Emilio. Hope you feel stronger soon Bill. Take care and Stay Safe.
Congratulations to 'Jet Silver and his Doll of Venus' (see what i did there). 😉
So happy for you both. I feel better knowing you have a loving, supportive wife to get you through the day and night. Spend time with Emiko. Peace.
Congratulations to you both, feel better soon Bill.
A glowing landmark in the gloom. Congratulations.
There's Dr. Who episode , 'The Doctor's Wife' , I think it's called. He encounters the TARDIS as a woman, and they are ...a couple. It always hit us just a certain way, as deep as deep can be, when they talked about their relationship in the context of Life, the Universe, and Everything (ar ar ar) . These two extraordinary beings, together in humanoid form for a brief time. They understood the bigger picture and it was the real picture to them. The human time was only one piece of the puzzle, but it was the one they were in, and being there together made it transcendent. He said something about the rest of it being bigger , more encompassing. Then she told him "but this is when we talked". That one line struck us to the core. In all the vast dimensions of the All, and our expansive larger selves, this was the time that we had bodies to share a world and some time together. This is when we talked. How very wonderful to find someone like that.
