It's the professor's birthday tomorrow
And we will be doing little birthday "treat" things all day
He never works on the anniversary of his birth
It's a tradition
And so I will warm him some chocolate hot cross buns for breakfast
I will line up his cards and pressies in bed ( for the " official opening")
And I will keep my everyday chicken husbandry and dog Clingon removal to a minimum today
He will come first... Which is a rarity when the usual competition is group of needy animals.
He's a big kid when birthdays are involved
I have to say that we are a good team, the prof and ,I and we have been so for over 13 years now........
He gives me grounding, objectivity, security and love
I give him warmth, humour, a home reminiscent of Miss Marple's cottage and a constant headache.........it's a good partnership.......
it works........
.....and so ...... Today.......all ..I will say......is " Happy birthday my old doll"
You don't look 44...................

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. Happy day to you both!
ReplyDeleteyou and Chris are an excellent team...here's wishing him the Happiest of Birthdays (wow you really make me miss my Don...one of the things I miss the most is him making special occasions out of all the yearly celebrations...well now I'm all teary eyed). Enjoy YOUR day Chris :D (and be thankful he's putting the animal husbandry on the back burner for the day) :D
ReplyDeletehappy birthday chris! make john do something for you he doesn't normally do! :-b

Happy Birthday Chris! Make sure that John gives you a wheelbarrow for your birthday. You are a gardener now, you know!
ReplyDeleteWishing your husband a very happy birthday.....people born on May 3rd are special...it's my girl child's birthday too. Enjoy your day together.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Chris! Much love to you both.
ReplyDeleteWishing Chris a very happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns of the day, Professor Chris!
ReplyDeleteNever working on his birthday....now why didn't I think about that. It should be part of employment law - if it's your birthday you are entitled to a paid day off. Happy Birthday to Professor Brainstawm! At 44 he's just a baby.
ReplyDelete44...John, you are a cradle snatcher. Make Chris a wonderful cake...and he will fall in love you all over again.

ReplyDeleteWarm birthday wishes to Chris from across the pond!
ReplyDeleteHave a really great day, both of you. Ahh....I remember 44. I think I need some more info on the chocolate hot cross bun. Why have I never heard of this bakery item and where can I purchase one?
ReplyDeleteYow sweet of you to give your honey such a nice birthday present. Have a nice day, both of you!
ReplyDeleteIt's this professor's birthday on Sunday, but I know I can't count on my other half to warm chocolate hot-crossed buns and line up pressies for me. Chris has got it good--maybe too good, John!
ReplyDeleteYou are a very considerate man John. Happy Birthday to Chris and may both of you enjoy many more years of bliss together!!! When you find "the one", the world around you seems so much brighter. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteAhh, 44 - so long ago! A very happy birthday to you, Chris. It looks as though John has that well in hand. May you both have a wonderful day - or by now I guess it's mostly over in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteBest to you both (and the 9th duck!),
