Spag bol
Today was a note-worthy day in our household, Jack sampled Nanny's Spag Bol for the very first time, and loved it. His Mummy, Aunt and Uncle were all weaned on this culinary delight and today Jack has gone off to visit the Health Visitor breathing garlic on all around him, the face of an angel, the breath of a lothario.
Sunday evening was Hubby's surprise birthday meal. Son didn't come, I'm not sure how Father Christmas will respond to this absence, I suspect he may show his displeasure by putting a garish pair of sox, or boxers in his stocking. When we arrived at the restaurant the other diners looked doubtfully at Jack, particularly when he decided to thump the table loudly whilst going his vocal impersonation of some prehistoric beast. The evening was saved, and all were won over when Hubby opened his card from Jack and the song 'Grandad' played. All were smiling and Jack and his Grandad became quite the celebrities.
The Christmas shopping has started in earnest, the cards will be written tonight, and the decorations have been retrieved from the loft.

(14.12.04 16:13) I suggest both..the socks AND the boxers, so that the displeasure looks bigger. mwahahahaha! |
|
(14.12.04 16:16) MJ - Perhaps some Brut aftershave as well |
|
(14.12.04 23:08) orange and gold coins |
|
(15.12.04 02:02) Haha, most definitely the Brut aftershave, the ultimate put-down, spelling like a tom cat on the razz!!! |
|
(15.12.04 03:06) Is that Brut aftershave so bad? We donīt have it here in Argentina, you know. But if it is bad, add it to the socks and the boxers! ;-) |

(15.12.04 11:30) Princess - They get gold coins, and a satsuma in their stockings every year  Chippy - Yes. I think he'll get the message! MJ - Brut used to be popular ++ back in the late 60's, early 70's, entire train carriages of men would wear it, it's considered really naff in England. Son, who considers himself Mr Designer, will be horrified

(15.12.04 13:09) Old Spice is a good alternative! |
|
(15.12.04 13:20) Reptar - (Hanging her head in shame) I like Old Spice, there's something warm, snuggly and reassuring about it. Son would probably hate it though so if Father Christmas can't find Brut, or Tabac, or Hi Karate,he might resort to Old Spice. |
|
(15.12.04 13:44) Oh yes, Tabac -- that was another one! Actually, I have to own up to possessing all of the above at one time or another - and of those Old Spice was definitely the best. |
