this time around, herself was with me for three whole weeks! she has never before spent that long with me on my own home turf. about eight months after we first met we did spend a month together in south africa ... that was way back when! we were both still wearing our rose coloured spectacles at that time. mind, even with the shades herself was already finding me arrogant and unbending.
and i... well i spent some (a wee bit) of my time wanting to strangle this impossible american i had hooked up with. ah, the tales we could tell!

since then, we have of course seen one another fairly regularly. i have spent months at a time in the states ... behaving (i firmly believe) most admirably. herself has traveled to buckingham and to scotland many times but as a working woman her vacation time was limited. never before... three whole weeks.

now, my lady is a writer but no matter how i tried she showed no interest in the wonderful world of blog.the idea of 'her own blog' seemed to hold no appeal. strange, damn strange, never the less true!

however...
it appears, three weeks spent in my magical, charming company has done the trick.
herself now has a blog 'a stone in my shoe'.
i am delighted! i am trying to ignore the undeniable fact that ...
this blog is a way for herself to blow off steam.a place to slag me off, reveal my imperfections ...
hell's teeth ... who knew i had any????
one might call it ... the revenge of the small witch. seems to me that she is determined to inform the world of blog of my human frailties!

as we would say back home in the good old republic of sa ... "check the worry in my eyes".

go babe!
