Secret messages
Today has been wonderful, with thanks to Dave. He has surprised me, made me laugh and even cooked dinner for me this evening ~ what a star he has been!
Half way through this afternoon, I went to the table that we use for packaging items. Dave had been parcelling up items earlier in the day and had left a bit of a mess, so I started to tidy up.
He had carefully placed his empty tea mug on a small square of cardboard (to make sure that no tea rings where left on the table), so I lifted the mug to take it to the sink to be washed and found that Dave had carefully drawn around the base of the mug to leave a circle on the cardboard and inside the circle he had written the following message:
'If you can see this, then I need a new cup of tea!'
How could I resist such a darling message and laughing to myself, I went and put the kettle on!
Dave has managed to sort out the little problems he had found with our website, none of them could be seen when you visit the site because they were in our administration panel, but irritating for me all the same. Still, that's all sorted now which is lovely.
I have spent much of the day selecting goodies and making up gift sets punctuated with telephone enquiries. Several people have rung us this week asking when our shop will open as they would like to visit. Good grief! How excited am I now?! I also popped out to get our lunch and treated us to a mince pie for pudding, they were superb with melt-in-the-mouth pastry and an excellent combination of dried fruits and peel. It's the first mince pie I've had since just after Christmas last year and made me feel all warm and cosy and looking forward to Christmas this year.
I was talking to a good friend last night who couldn't believe that I had mentioned the 'C' word to her, but we are only 10 weeks away and for us this year there will be a new pre-C project ~ our shop.
Anyway, back to today... we left the unit a little earlier than usual and popped to our local convenience store where we bought 'the basics' ~ bread, milk, cat food and Dave slipped bacon and eggs into the shopping basket while I wasn't looking and when we got home he cooked supper for me. Now usually I would think that Dave was trying to get into my good books for some reason or other, but today I think he is just being sweet. Whilst we were walking along the high street, arms around each other, I asked if he thought that we would still walk everywhere together hand in hand or arm in arm when we are 70. His response was 'probably not, but we can share a double Zimmer frame'. And they say romance is dead!
So here we are this evening in our normal evening routine; I am sitting in the drawing room with the laptop watching dramatisations of Jane Austin novels on DVD (tonight it's Emma) and Dave is in the dining room shooting things on his PC game!
Well, the kettle calls... chat soon, Liz
