It’s my wife’s birthday today. My sister, knowing how we at the House of HappinessStan do love our plonk, sent her this card:
It kind of sums up our attitude to wine really! Ironically we met in a pub. We asked each other’s ages – I thought she was 25 (she wasn’t) and she decided at that point I was suitable marriage material. So there’s a lesson for all you batchelors out there – underestimate a potential bride’s age by a few years and you’re on to a winner (maybe).
Happy Birthday to the wifey, hope you cooked something delicious for her?
No! We did take-out because we went to see Singin in the Rain! I couldn’t cook that night – too much wine!
happy birthday mrs. stan. there is a very decadent cake on the smitten kitchen blog for a chocolate sour cream cake with peanut butter cream cheese icing…a very worth birthday cake
That sounds like pure decadence!
Hahaha… I would guess you’re both much younger than I am.. so that makes me a good blogger;) Happy Birthday!!!!
Well your as young as you feel my old grandma used to say. At least I think she said that. Might have read it though…memory not what it was haha!
Happy Birthday to your wife!!! I hope you guys had a great celebration. Did you bake the first cake in the new kitchen already?
No I havent done a cake yet. Not sure what I will do – maybe…..chocolate and strawberries.
Can’t go wrong with that!
I know I used bloody ell in blog the other day and upset someone. Love the Brits.
Very tetchy. I’m always swearing though
Happy birthday Mrs Stan. I hope Stan treated you very well.
I’m sure she would say yes!?
Happy birthday to the long suffering woman. I hope you are going to cook here something worthy.
Best,
Conor
Well kind of – a mega takeaway! I’m still getting through mine…
Is “toss” considered rude enough to have to asterisk? All this time I thought it ranked around “gosh” or “darn” in terms of harshness. :/ Actually I didn’t think either word merited an asterisk. Good thing I don’t talk to many Brits!
Its a funny thing – looking at this card it is a bit staid – but what Americans think is rude we don’t and vice versa – for instance we take exception to w**ker but there was a chap who commented using that word like it was ‘prat’. As for fanny – well we just don’t use that one in quite the same way…
