I thought I'd put up a first post in the chat section with a funny we tale of my day with Mark.
It is his birthday this Tuesday, he is 54. Unfortunately I can't be with him on Tuesday, so I decreed his official birthday was today, I figured if Her Majesty can have two, so can my old Queen!!
The celebrations began with some serious over indulging with way, way too much wine last night. I don't really remember getting to bed and when I got up this morning there was a empty 3 litre box of wine and an empty bottle too. Oops.
Fortunately I am blessed with never suffering from hangovers, so I was up at 9am, while the old boy carried on snoring at decibels way past safe hearing levels.
We had arranged to get the Glasgow bus at 1230pm, have a couple of drinks, then a meal at 230pm. Mark was a bit miffed it wasn't a dinner date, but I said to him that was to make sure we didn't have hangovers for our Miss Saigon rehearsal tomorrow. Actually it was because it was a cheap Groupon offer, as no way was I paying Glasgow prices for the old codger!
Anyway at 1115am I woke him up and gave him a coffee. I have seen better looking cod that have been lying on the deck for two hours than he looked this morning, so I added a couple of Nurofen to the coffee. Anyway told him to get a move on and shower and shave. Fifteen minutes later he appeared in the lounge with four, yes four pieces of loo paper on his face, I laughed so hard I nearly had an accident! It is at times like this I wish I had a camera phone! Too cut a long story short, we missed the 1230pm bus, as he struggled to stem the flow of blood! I got made up and put on a red summer dress and to be fair he looked fairly presentable in the new linen jacket and shirt I bought him. I though oh good, at least I won't be too embarrassed to be seen out with him. That was until he picked up his bright pink golf brolly! No he doesn't play golf, he just does it to annoy me. Such a shame his new pink deck shoes are too wee for him. Anyway we finally got the bus an hour after we were supposed to. I felt a bit self conscious at the bus station as we stood out like a couple of lemons. I momentarily felt better when an old lady in her mid 70's said "Awe you look lovely in that dress Hen, really beautiful" I smiled and thanked her. Was dumbstruck by what she said next and I promise you this is true, she said "No c... dresses up in this town!" It could only happen in Greenock!!
Anyway we had a couple of drinks, a lovely meal - Crab cake and lamb shank for the old git and chicken liver pate and beer battered pollock and chips for me. Back home now and the stud is fast asleep on the couch next to me as I type this!
Happy birthday old yin!
