Good day Bloggets. It’s raining today, a grey day for sure. I
can’t remember what it’s like when you can see, but if it’s raining or sunny,
do you feel it in your skin? For example, obviously I can’t see now so if it’s
going to rain, I just can tell in how I feel. And it’s obvious that if it’s
sunny, then my skin feels hot. But if you can see, then do you totally rely on your
eyesight? Like if it’s dull, I just know it by how I feel.
Confused? I am just writing this…
Oh, I heard the doorbell go this morning. I didn’t get to
sleep until after 4 am and BW was up for work at 5 am. Normally I don’t hear him,
but Sham stayed… and I heard her. Not talking as they are really quiet, just
the heavy footsteps of Shamrock going
down the stairs. Then Hub got up for work at 6 am today so I fell back to sleep
at about seven. Well the bell rang at about half eight, so really time for me to get up, I
just couldn’t lift my head from the pillow. I did wonder if Hub bought some
sleeping pills and popped one in my cup of tea before bed? As once I did get to
sleep, though so many interuptions, I fell so deeply.
Hub is in my hometown today. Hopefully he will be back for
tonight as we are going out to celebrate his birthday. I’m so organised. I get
that stressed finding clothes etc, so I have it all sorted. I’m wearing a long
black dress with pink yellow, orange and green flowers on. It’s short sleeved. It’s
straight with a round neck. I have some really pretty black velvet shoes that I
bought a year ago and haven’t worn yet. I have some beads Hub bought me when we
were on holiday in the Caribbean about eight years ago again, I haven’t worn
them yet either. I’m wearing two pairs of earrings as I have my ears pierced
twice. One jet round studs Hub bought me for Christmas this year, worn them
loads. The other pair are the beautiful diamond ones, Hub bought me the first
day we got together all those years ago. They are really precious as they were
his first gift to me and cost a fortune. I almost died when I saw them, but
bless him, he said they were to make up for the 28 years we had been apart. And
finally, I’m wearing my diamond bangle to match. I never go anywhere posh
enough to warrant such jewellery, so making up for it tonight.
Hub is wearing his
beautiful new shirt our boy bought Hub for his birthday. It’s stunning. Designed by Jeff Banks, it’s a white long-sleeved
shirt with mid blue stripes and around the buttons, is light purple and the
cuffs are fastened by white silk knotted cufflinks. He also got Hub an
experience of flying again. This time a glider. And then hopefully he can
forget any sillly experiences… heart in mouth again for me. Haha.
I bought him a belt that has to go back… it’s the wrong size.
He’s put some weight on but he said even if he excersized and dieted for three
months, it wouldn’t fit… I gave it to our Son to try but it is huge on him… so
back to the shop it goes, but to be honest, it’s not what I hoped for. it ws
bought on line and the description is awful. It sounds lovely on line, and it’s
very boring.
I got him a new rucksack for work. Well back pack… the one
he has now is about nine years old, so starting not to look that good. I also
got him a chrome wine bottle holder. It’s an octopus in silver obviously,
chrome. It’s rather fancy and the kind of odd thing that Hub likes. It’s really
intricate. I never know what to get him as he has everything. Christmas we
totally spoil each other. Including our boy. And finally I bought him a new
aftershave as the one Inormally buy in my opinion is the best aftershave in the
world, it’s alled Play, has become so very expensive. I had to tell BW off
yesterday for using his Dads aftershave… it’s now £105 for the size I got him
last Christmas. It was £75 when I got him it. To go up that much? But it is the
absolute best smell.
For his birthday dinner, he had his favourite M&S
chicken and mushroom family pie… and for dessert, again, M&S forrest fruit
layerd Pavlova. It’s all his as BW can’t eat it being a vegan, I don’t like meringue,
so over to him… All week he’s been saying he is going to eat it all… not a
chance. Even too much for the Hubster!
Hub received cards obviously from me and our boy, and two
identical from his brother and sister in law, bless them, the cards he sent too
are very expensive. Once again, not a thing from any other member of his
family. Why change the habit of a lifetime? I think though Hub is beyond hurt,
he did think his Dad and two others, may have at least sent a card, after all,
just because you send a card, doesn’t mean you love someone does it. It’s just
something that would have said at least they recognise the fact he has a
birthday, well he was born…
He received a card from two of our neighbours, one from our
besties, one from my friend Pip, one from our friend Yvonne and one from our
dear friends Kinz and the big man and one from our friends Geordie and Dave ,
who also gave him a bottle of very posh red wine. Hubs Pa from the office,
bought him a card, even took the time to get it written in Braille. Wow, how kind,
I mean, she’s only been working for him
for a couple of months and she gave him some lovely gifts too. After tonights
meal, our friends are coming tomorrow and we are going out for lunch.
Our Son is home from
work now, he’s exhausted. He has done late nights getting in at ten and early
starts at half five all this week. But he’s off work now for the next two weeks
plus. I seriously hope he has a job to come back to. I’m not sure how his boss
will cope on her own. One of his colleagues yesterday said she came to work
shaking looking really white. I mean, BW does all the paperwork and all the
phone calls dealing with people and so on. He got a call yesterday saying in
the whole region he was the only one who got 100% this month. Hub and I are so
proud of him. I know he wants out of there, but I believe the time will come
when it’s time to move. For some reason he’s meant to stay there for now…
So this weekend we are busy thank goodness. Sunday we are
out for a couple of hours too. As I will miss my Son so very much. Counting the
days until he’s home again. When he’s abroad, he’s travelling by flight
somewhere else, Cuba, so I just hope to goodness he will be safe.
OK I shall leave you to have a lovely weekend and chat again
very soon. Until later, take care appreciate those who love you.
