Little Bloggy Friends! Well, how the devil are you?! It seems ages since I've written anything on my Blog. I thought, if I don't write something soon, I might never write anything ever again, so here I am - especially here to brighten up your day. LOL!!
We are getting well into January now and the days are very slowly starting to get just that little bit lighter. We have had so much rain over here since Christmas, with just the odd day of blue skies. On those days, I have taken the opportunity to get out for a walk and enjoy the fresh air.
It is hubby's 70th birthday in July, and I am trying to organize some surprises for him. We always have made the big O birthdays just that little bit special. On his 40th, I took him to Paris, on his 50th I whisked him to Venice and we went to a lovely hotel in Spain for his 60th.
For my 40th, hubby arranged for a white Rolls Royce to pick me up and take me to work. Then I had lunch with friends, and he arranged for what he said was a singing gypsy violinist to turn up at the lunch. Unfortunately, the gypsy violinist broke down on the way to the venue, and I ended up with a stripping black vicar instead. Enough said about that little episode really!! For my 50th, he arranged a meal in a lovely Elizabethan hotel near here, with all my family and friends, and we also went to Rome. For my 60th, I was taken to Prague, and watched a very special performance of Les Miserable.
You will probably realize why I just love those BIG birthdays!
Anyway, here we are coming up to his 70th, and I've got to come up with something. You might (or might not!) have realized by now that I do tend to get excited about things, whereas hubby, on the other hand, doesn't get excited at all. I still remember his 50th. We were out for the girls for a meal, and I gave him the Venice tickets in a card. He didn't say a word. The girls said "you can get excited now if you like, dad!". They are just like me, and it's any excuse to make something a little bit special.
Anyway, he did mention a Rhine Cruise some time ago, which was a miracle in itself, because he never wants to do holidays!! Bit of a bummer really, because I can't say I fancy that, but it's HIS 70th, so I must go along with it. We were based near the Rhine when he was stationed there in the Army over 30 years ago, and I loved all the little places along the Rhine. It's not that I have the problem with, but it's being with all these other people on a ship that I'm not so sure about!!
Also, the big Open Golf Championship is always held on his actual birthday, and I was thinking of booking that as a real surprise. Obviously, I would have to go along as well. I can't just send him off on his own!! Anyway, wish me luck peeps.
I think that's probably enough for you to cope with at the moment dear friends. After all, you don't want too much of a good thing! Perhaps now that I've written this first post after such a while, it will be easier for me to get going again. Take care, and enjoy your weekend wherever you may be.
