It's my sweet man's birthday on Wednesday, yet we've been indulging in special things here and there since yesterday. I love everything about birthdays, and the opportunity to spoil someone I adore so much makes it an even more joyous affair. So far, in the '12 Days of Birthday' there has been a Vietnamese meal, gelati (ginger, butter cookie, and nut caramel flavours), a behemoth dark chocolate lamington, and carob-covered ginger. To come, there is certainty of jaunts to Vapiano, Wagaya, and the German Sausage stand, as well as a Revenge Of The Sith evening. I'm also going to post random things this week that would make rad presents (both fantastical and/or probable..).
Until tomorrow, here is this weekend's happy list, inspired as always by this talented woman, and inclusive of some things about life with the birthday boy that make our days together unexpectedly spectacular.
1, Your pedantic obsession with coffee. You've perfected it to the extent that I no longer enjoy it out.
2, That I can count on you to utilise leftover icing and other baking confections. I'm referring to the dulce du leche crumpet incident of early June here.
3, That our language has extended to include both tactful reprimands, "I'm in The Zone", and ridiculous television quotes.
4, On some evenings I come home to the cleanest house in the world, incense and candles, and a pot of tea. There's often leftovers as well.
5, That you'll come out and meet me at the road if we've noticed some dodgy things going on around the neighbourhood.
6, That magnum of Shiraz we shared last week.
7, Your exceptional taste in music.
8, The ability to realign our Feng Shui each season.
9, The reworking of songs you utterly detest.
10, How welcoming you are to my family and friends.
Happy (almost) Birthday, my S.
