Birthday series two saw Mr Him, and this is his words, 'getting his groove on'. We went to a local fund raiser for the British Heart Foundation.
The town donated up to a fortune for Mr Him not to 'get his groove on.' The band tried everything from stopping the music to handing Mr Him and everyone else lollipops to keep him occupied as the rest of us danced to 'My girl lollipop.' I threatened that if he continued to 'walk like an Egyptian ' I'd get the next camel home.
At this point we decided we'd better go home for a cuppa to rest our weary bodies. The next day I could barely walk downstairs. Luckily Mr Him could and so he roasted two ducks and potatoes and parsnips to accompany green veg and we fed some young family members, Mr Him's son, my oldest miss 21, her automotive engineer and the yogurt churner extraordinaire who is now 18. I made an apple and blackberry crumble using some of the autumn picked berries and apples. Oats were mixed with flour to make the topping.
We had a fun conversation over the cooked fowl and then turned to a game of Cards against Humanity. What evil parents we are!

ReplyDeleteGyrating? Where on earth do you get the energy?
I think my samsung health app is wondering the same thing.

ReplyDeleteWhy? Because your mind is more evil!
