one persons happiness is another's stress....

David Mc Mahon is sitting in Melbourne, Australia, blissfully unaware of the ripple effects of his blog.....it all started innocently enough...each week he asks a question, and all around blogland, people post their takes on the subject. (BTW his one last week about 'do you believe in ghosts?' brought about some fascinating stories and photos.) Anyway this week's question was simple and uncontroversial ......at least one would think so.... he asked 'what makes you happy?'


I visited Mrs Nesbitt's blog yesterday and read her very eloquent response, it was delightful and heartwarming and sincere, but DANGEROUS!!!! I am not at ALL in favour of censorship, but in view of the radical and threatening contents, I had to warn Mr Farty (strangely apt nickname coined by Kirsty, coincidentally also from Oz, boy you guys are good at instigating!!!) that he must at all costs avoid reading Mrs Nesbitt's post.



I mean, this is serious stuff, if he did, he might find out that there are husbands whose wives make sure the house is tidy for them to come home to, and they have hot uncarbonised meals waiting for them!


Unfortunately, Mr F can't resist a challenge, and soon enlightened himself as to the contents.
So instead of telling him that C and I weren't hungry (due to a gargantuan lunch we treated ourselves to at a restaurant earlier in the day..hee hee) so he should just sort himself out at KFC...AGAIN...... I went on a guilt trip, and rushed off to prepare a warm meal for the poor hardworking man.

I found some par-baked tramezzini in the fridge, all I had to do was toast them and add a bit of chicken stir fry filling, and a salad on the side, easy peasy, right? ........wrong....

I apparently have the attention span of a gnat when cooking, so while making the salad, C asked what that horrible smell was?...uh oh, attempt no 1 up in flames. So I popped another under the grill, and carried on with the chicken. This time I said "what's that awful smell?... followed by some othe rwords which i don't want my grandson to learn so it was good he wasn't here! Anyway 3rd time lucky, and there on the right you see the perfect result!


Anyway Denise, you have created a monster, because this morning, as I was groping my way upwards through puffy clouds of sleep, I finally emerged to face today, and the first thing I heard was "Coffee is nice! So naturally I gently suggested that Mr F went to make some, only to be told that Mrs Nesbitt would have jumped out of bed and offered to make it!!!


So David, what makes me happy?..............eating take-aways and not having to make coffee 1st thing in the morning before I am properly awake! hee hee.
(Luckily, after 31 blissful years together, Mr F knows what to expect, and seems happy anyway!!)
