3/25 please cathybird,up to yesterday. When I said that there was only easter and one birthday in April to navigate,I forgot to add my wedding anniversary today! Always so busy sorting for special dates others I forget myself!
DD1 is taking us for a meal this evening. Not sure if anyone else is coming,its all a bit quiet.Already chosen our meals. It takes forever sorting out Mr Dusty's meals. Couldnt sit arguing in front of everyone for 20 minutes,could we? Nothing with pork or bacon in it. No cheese in any form. No alcohol,such as wine or ale in the recipe. Doesnt like seafood,nor soup,thinks restaurant veggies are undercooked (so do I) and that everything is undersalted!!!!!!
But I finally sorted him out. Lamb kofta,chocolate fudge cake and icecream. I'm having tandoori chicken and lemon meringue. No idea about any alcohol,we'll see.Yep,fifty three years FIFTY THREE YEARS. Feels like 530.......5 -
