FH (french husband) STRIKES AGAIN!

...and I am not a romantic!



Happy Valentines Day, 
He said...

Kiwi, rather surprised by this sudden intake of american " romantic" culture....but also rather pleased. 


Tiffany, flowers, dinner, ...glass of wine, at least?


Does a girl dare to dream??
My heart was on BOTH sleeves until...


" Let's go out for dinner tomorrow when its cheaper and there are less people!"


Promise: if I was a vibrator owner it would be out on matrimonial french pillow and buzzing furiously, even if un-used, until bloody dawn! 


Did I say, "bloody?






Love words from another era?? 
" That's Amore"

THE GRACIOUS ART OF MEDITATION

How relaxed are you..? My year has started off with a couple of explosions.  The kind of explosions which create major stress and inner anguish. I won't bore you with the details...suffice to say that I have turned to my iPad for support. I love my iPad. Not usually a gadget oriented gal, this wee beauty and I have become inseparable.  The iPhone has NOTHING on it..to start, now that I am 40-something I need to get out my glasses everytime I use my iPhone or stretch my arms as long as possible and squint to read those all-important texts from girlfriends.. meet you at wine bar at 6pm...anyone for a gin and tonic...Spanks on sale at underwear lady down Cour Clemenceau. .. Even though the iPhone has all the "apps," the "style-plus" ingredient etc etc it just doesn't measure up. I love the way the iPad gets called " a tablet"...so ROMAN! Imagine myself in floaty toga with elaborate hair, down at the local forum..although I would pro...

OLYMPIC SOB

As the Olympics draw to their end,  this DesperateAngloHousewife is wondering where her next wee buzz will be coming from.... I know I should be having a good old rant about sportsmanship, international cooperation and team spirit but instead I am going to be completely honest. ...All those bodies beautiful! Am I the only 40-something who has been blowing bubbles into her Chardonnay during the  men's diving?  Was I the only creature on the planet who was reaching for the smelling salts as the men swimmers came out announced and pranced across to their starting block whilst unzipping their sweatshirts to reveal not just the most heavenly of six packs but also shoulders to  weep over? Of course one can wax lyric over the grace of the pole vaulting, the panther speed of Mr Bolt, the incredible concentration of the archers, the tenacity of the walkers... Did anyone else notice the female athletes, their tone and all of that in their " undies?" I did have a ...

Tinderella goes on her first date

Image
A tale of romance, anticipation, and a twist that even Shakespeare would envy! It all began with a charming fellow who burst into my life like a comet streaking across the night sky. From the moment we matched on the dating app, he showered me with compliments, sweet messages, and promises of a magical first date. Receiving texts 24/24, hour long telephone conversations, ooos and ahhhhs over my responses to his questions. Yes, I was being "love bombed" * and fell for it hook, line and sinker. I can't stop thinking about you he'd whisper in a voice message, sending a photo of his designer expresso machine sitting next to his bed replete with white sand washed linen duvet cover....and this was only after 24 hours!! By day #2 he was sending (to my horror!) screen shots of train tickets down from Paris to Bordeaux...for a "coffee together." My good sense had me texting back the french equivalent of " settle down tiger!" However, the following week ...
