Our 39th wedding anniversary in The View from the Terrace

Today is our 39th wedding anniversary. We had originally planned to go out for lunch but Hubby has been ill with a bad cold that has gone to his chest and he didn’t feel up to a meal out so we were going to have a drive and maybe a coffee and cake somewhere. Then, as luck will have it, I woke with a bad migraine so we didn’t go anywhere. The weather was pretty bad anyway so maybe tomorrow.

I was feeling a lot better by lunchtime and after lunch we exchanged cards and Hubby gave me 3 presents. I felt a bit bad because the present I have ordered for him hasn’t come yet but that is because he told me what he wanted and didn’t pick it out until yesterday, but I would like to have got him a surprise too but with my own bad health and his being ill I haven’t manage to get out this week.

The first present was a pretty address book in lilac and green. I don’t really need another book yet but I will put it away for now as eventually there are always so many crossings out when people move that you have to start a new one. He also bought me a sparkly scarf in mauve and pale aqua which will go lovely with the new top I bought Iafew weeks ago with a frosty winter scene on it in white, blue and a dash of lilac. The third gift was a green necklace. He certainly does know my taste in colours.

This evening after tea I was tidying the kitchen when I found a box of eclairs. Hubby said we could have them this evening when we are watching telly and we did.

So it was a good day after all and we still might get out tomorrow if the weather improves. I hope his gift comes soon. He asked for a harmonica! Crazy anniversary present but that’s what he wants so that’s what he’s getting.
