My Best Side

My husband and I have lost a few things just lately. Things like our eyesight, our hearing, the odd tooth, our sense of humour, the will to live - you know the sort of thing. This week we both lost our advanced digital hearing aids, and I lost my reading glasses, which resulted in the following conversation.

'DARLING, WOULD YOU PUT ONE OF MY GLAMOROUS PHOTOS ONTO MY BLOG, PLEASE? I CAN'T LOAD ANY INTO MY PROFILE, FOR SOME REASON. WILL YOU MAKE SURE IT IS ONE OF MY BEST SIDE?'

'YES, DEAR, OF COURSE!'

Half an hour later, I enquired 'DARLING, DID YOU FIND A PHOTO' TO PUT ON MY BLOG?'

'YES, DEAR.'

'IS IT ONE OF MY BEST SIDE?'

'IT IS.' replied my husband with an enigmatic little smile. 'IT'S THE ONE WITH THE ALLIUM.' He left the room whistling.

He is such a dear. I know that he gets a bit exasperated with my menopausal mood swings, just lately, but he never bears a grudge. He knows nothing about flowers, though. I don't remember posing with an allium - he probably means the one where I've got the rose between my teeth.

What a great picture - very funny blog post too. I'm glad there's no-one snapping me when I'm indisposed! Regards, M.

Have just come back for another look at the photo - it's STILL funny.

Well at least there is some resonance with the background and the colour scheme fits.

I'd never in a million eons trust my husband to choose a photo to upload.

I wish you would come back! I have you on the blog roll & love your sites.

maggie may Thank you for your recent comment. I can only apologise for my bad manners. My blog of 8th March is dedicated to you. I confess I find blogging hard work and I am slow. I wish I could run them off in 10 minutes, but I cannot. Hopefully, I have a few more blogs in the pipeline. Kind regards to you.
