After my last post, my Dad has sent me an email.
He thinks the communal dormitory living may be getting to me.
According to Dad, yesterday's post followed on from 'some fairly dreary ones lately.'
Hmmm. Just wait until you see the house then Dad! Can't wait to see your face.
However, obviously I need a happy post today.
So, it is a co-incidence is it not, that 22 years ago today, Dad happily dragged me down the aisle, and married me off to Brunnel. For a handsome dowry. (Just joking!)
Of course I was a child bride. I'd have to have been if I'm still only 39.
22 years. That's quite a long time!
Being the romantics that we are, Brunnel is cooking dinner tonight.
I am thankful for the electric barbeque.
It means I am spared a recreation of one of his woo-ing recipes - to this day I'm not sure what he was attempting to cook, but something akin to porridge fish is what was on the plate.
And let us not remember the apricot a la mode chicken-with-a-dash-of-rolled-oats thingy either.
Both 'recipes' memorable for all the wrong reasons.
So, I didn't marry him for his cooking then. Tonight a 'Brunnel's curry' will be just fine.
And it is a happy day! Happy anniversary darling!

P.S Thanks everyone for your comments and emails yesterday. They were truly lovely.

Happy Anniversary! I'm sure you were a stunning "child-bride". Your Dad sounds super, whereas Brunnel's cooking...not so much :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening!
Happy Anniversary to you both. I've heard of "sowing some wild oats" but I don't think it has anything to do with eating!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Also, really felt for you on your post yesterday and hope things are better today. I'm starting a business from home after being a stay at home mum for 8 years. Think my 2 girls and husband now think of me as the shouting one in the house who only ever says 'not right now, I'm too busy'. It always seems that everyone else has it right! I'm sure your girls' teachers would tell you you have 2 very happy girls, and I'm sure they are. Have a lovely evening. Annie x.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Amanda and B! And your dad read and comments on your blog? I wish my dad would do that, how cool is that? You have a lovely time with your husband, still in love, I always smile when reading stories like yours, a happy story on a rainy day, always a welcome start to my day,
ReplyDeletehugs hon,

Would you unleash your Dad on the whole of Blogtopia, Amanda? I'd love to see him in action in the comment boxes.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Oh your dad is a card, I love how he described your posts!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about unsuccessful wooing cooking. I cooked a thai soup thingy for Lyndon when we first met that almost exploded our heads it was so hot. Oh well.
I hope you have had a lovely dinner tonight xx
Happy anniversary, hope you have a lovely meal and evening :)
