Most couply couple photo ever

I am in a couple photo, for the first time since boring Dan.
It looks like two librarians who work on different floor have been forced to pose together by a boss who keep yelling 'bunch up'.
And pretty much says everything that needs said about my 'relationship'.  We are basically strangers who act like we know each other.  Also, it took almost five years for us to be in a photo together (discounting group shots) and this is what we managed.


Anyway, forgot my meds on Tuesday night because I am dumb.  As was very apparent at 0300, when I was feeling attacked by my bedding and I really wanted to experiment in amateur trepanation.
So I started Wednesday feeling pretty shit, not helped by a workman turning up to do work and demanding I be home later at a time when I was not going to be home (and made little effort to be).  Then discovered the shirt I had ready and looking nice was not a shirt I could sit down in.  Had to change to my second nicest shirt.
On the way to class I bought something from The Tart Tin again.  And it exploded in my backpack at some point during the day - I didn't want to risk eating it before the ceremony and getting it on my shirt.  Somehow I had forgotten that I am the personification of scruffiness and was going to look like crap no matter what.
I had the safest from staining lunch I could think of after classes and then wandered slowly toward the town hall for the Semi-Imaginary One's citizenship ceremony.
The ceremony was a bit long and dull, as one expects.  We were sitting behind the local National MP and the Semi-Imaginary One's other guest is an elderly leftie who spent a bunch of the time audibly grumbling about what an arse the guy is.   It was entertaining and satisfying.  The nibbles after the ceremony were nice, and I got the above photo.  Also, the ODT pounced on my foreigner as the most photogenic and exotic white person at the ceremony......  So there was a nice photo in the paper which I think I might have to buy a print of from the paper.  It may be time that I cross to being one of those people that owns a framed photo of a loved one.
