This Year's Birthday Prezzie.


                                      

Lady Magnon: What do you want for your birthday?

Cro: Nothing.

Lady M: You must want something!

Cro: No, really; I'm fine.

Lady M: Some books maybe? Or how about some new brushes?

Cro: No, honestly; I have everything I need.

Lady M: How about I take you to some fancy starred restaurant?

Cro: No, I'd rather stay at home with a nice big juicy steak.

Lady M: Oh, and by the way, I'm flying to Blighty on July 18th, and I won't be back until the 21st.

Cro: Really? But you'll be back in time for my birthday!

Lady M: Yes. And I may bring Harvey J and Ollie back for you; so how about that for your present?

Cro: Aaah, now you're talking; that would be just PERFECT. Thank you!

      I'll wish you a happy birthday next week then; I'll pick a day at random.

    Many years ago Rabby took me to Bergerac for a birthday lunch. Except he turned right before reaching town where I took delivery of two daughters at the airport. The best birthday surprise ever!

      That's exactly how I feel, even though I now know they're coming over.

      Far better than a fancy meal.

      Fancy restaurant meals always disappoint me these days. Although it's more work, I'm far happier with my own cooking--good quality food prepared with love! :)

    I am pleased that Lady M didn't keep it as a surprise…..you can now have some time looking forward to it, as well as enjoying the boys when they arrive. (I always feel that " surprise parties" are a mistake…half the joy is looking forward to something)

    We gave my sister a surprise birthday party for her seventieth some years ago - all the extended family at a hotel near her home. The photographs of her tell it all - she hated every minute of it and made her daughter swear never to do it again.
    Happy birthday Cro

    If you got her in the picture for your birthday, that would be the end of you.

    Lady M did not have to ask you what you would like for your birthday, she just went and planned it. What a wonderful gift for you both to enjoy.

    Lady Magnon looks a lot younger than you.I did not realise you had such a young wife. She looks very fit and healthy:)

      She was feeding the cat, hence the outfit.
