Happy anniversary to Colin and me

We've been married four years, and I still love being married to Colin. He's a wonderful darling of a man.

I've been totally spoiled today; presents (chocolates and a book on preserves) *and* flowers... and he managed to get flowers that look like pineapples! (It's our fruit and flowers anniversary - I didn't buy Colin flowers, which is good as we only have one vase, but I did make him a BLT for lunch). They're gorgeous.

Then this evening we went to Brasserie Gerard, and I ate whitebait and squid, lamb tagine, and crepes suzette and it was all very very lovely. We all had a good time and Judith (who liked my whitebait better than Colin's onion soup, was equal on our tagines (Colin had chicken) and was only allowed Colin's pudding of strawberries and mango sorbet) was complimented on her behaviour.

you can put flowers in a pint glaass if you don't have a vase, or anything you like really. Was Benedict not well behaved then?

He was, but they clearly expected it less of Judith and so were more pleasantly surprised.

Babies are often cute and well behaved; it is once they start walking, talking, and being toddling tanting things that it gets fraught...

He did get an approving comment on asking for an adult menu instead of a child's. (He's only allowed to eat off the child's menu if it's similar food to the main menu.) Judith was the only one of us who spent the entire meal beaming at the waitress, and the only one who gave a round of applause at the end.
