    How many happy years did she say she’d had? 😉

    I thought I'd won my first arguement as a married man last week. She sent me to the shops with a list but when I came back an unloaded everything I asked why she'd asked for pears as we already had a load of them. She claimed she hadn't asked for pears but I knew for a fact it was on the list and I had hard evidence to win that arguement. I told her I'd gone through the list and crossed out everything as I bought it. I got the list out and showed her but she claimed it said 'peas' not 'pears'. I pointed out her writing is terrible so it looked more like pears. She asked if that was the case why had I also bought peas?  :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    As her writing was saw bad, it could've been either so you got both to be in the safe side.

    She probably thought I was being optimistic. :D

    Now you are just being silly.

    My nephew is getting married shortly and I gave him the same advice that my father gave me.  The only way to get the final word in an argument is by saying "Yes dear, you're right".

    We’re very cheerful... hordes of newly ‘hatched’ tadpoles munching away at the blanket weed in our pond  :)

    Found a vivid, bright green froglet hopping about whilst weeding the hopeful dahlia patch.  "Hopeful" cos I left them out all winter and only one has definite signs of growth.

    Bought my new Fiskar loppers after all, but a bit miffed that the £20 cashback offer was actually last years!

    OH has made me an A-frame folding frame for my climbing haricot beans. Hopefully I won't have to keep bending down to pick them like the dwarf varieties. Just need to plant the beans now, and at the end of the season take it out and fold it away!
