Now usually he takes the day off work but today with numerous " Prof things " to do, he has whisked himself off to the University.
I shall bounce around the kitchen later like a 1950's housewife and prepare a nice birthday feast for supper. I may very well brush my hair and wash my face for the event........well it IS his birthday!
Going Gently is not always fair to the Professor. On purpose he remains a somewhat shadowdy figure who tends to shout a lot when there is a chicken on the drainage board wrapped in one of our best tea towels ...to most he is the Roger Moore eye browed straight man to "my" buffoon fall guy, but the truth is naturally somewhat more complicated than this Welsh sit com version!
I give you a flavour of the dish rather than tablespoon's taste of it so to speak!
So I wish my husband, a very happy birthday.
I drive him to distraction most days but he wouldn't be without me.
And I wouldn't be without him.
Hey ho x
I have no doubt that your birthday feast will be superb.
ReplyDeleteWishing the professor a wonderful birthday!
Happy Birthday to the Prof - hope the sun shines all day.
ReplyDeletePenblwydd hapus to the prof!
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday to the professor, a very fortunate man to be able to go gently with you. But, 40-something? Please. As an old vaudeville star once said, "I have hemorrhoids older than you."
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Prof! 🍸🍷🍰🎈❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Prof…….John might even put some pants on in honour of your Birthday !!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you Chris.
ReplyDeleteHearty felicitations to the Prof for today, still yet a mere chit of a child, shadows and mystery notwithstanding. May you persist in your eyebrow-cocking for many a further year.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to him. It does rather look in that photo that you are rather pleased at having murdered him.
ReplyDeleteha ha...yes it does !
DeleteAnd he's hit the nail on the head once again!

It is my daughter's birthday today, as well! (She is turning twenty). Will you be baking a cake? Your comment about a 1950's housewife gave me a mental image of gingham checked ruffled apron. Happy birthday to your prof! -Jenn
