Special day . . . UPDATED

Today is a special day, it is DH's birthday. We just had breakfast, will do the presents ceremony and then will go to the park with the girls.

It will be a short post now that will be updated either later tonight or tomorrow with photos of the birthday boy.

Project 365+1  Day 125 : Smooth

We were discussing the word this morning and both agreed that it relates to a lot of senses like Touch and Taste but not so much to Sight. But then I got an idea and this is my photo:

The material covering my new hard disk drive is so smooth that you can see a reflection of me taking the picture.

Catch up later, take care everybody, xxx

UPDATE

OK I am back. Where were we? Yes, the presents. DH is a very easy going person and one of the most difficult tasks is to offer him something because he is always happy with what he has. Having such a hubby is wonderful as long as it doesn't come close to his birthday but after a bit of torture here and there, I always manage to have him giving me some ideas. So once again I successfully survived the finding presents for his birthday.

He got a voucher for new trousers

a CD and as ideas I picked myself, a book on easy chinese suppers and a flexible keyboard (if I had had one of these, I wouldn't have broken my keys recently . . . ).

My parents sent him a voucher to buy Traffic Apps on his i-phone. I put it in a home made voucher (I know, I know, I seriously need to learn how to draw a car . . . )

The kids will be here tomorrow so he didn't get their presents yet.

Then we went to the parc with the girls. You try to take a picture of a human being, it is relatively easy. You add a dog, it's tough. You add 2 dogs, it can become mission impossible. You add 1 dog + Rhea, you can forget about it. Bubbles was so good looking at the camera all the time but that the time I kept on calling Rhea, Bubbles got fed up and put her attention on the squirrels. It's still a nice picture

We found some . . .  I don't know what they are. They look like pine cones but they are different than normal ones.

I was chatting with Hubby about the 365 +1 project and how fascinating it is to be deeply involved in the life of others in this group since already 124 days and double that to go.

This morning, I even though I recognized Minty, Jen's dog. So I took a picture to compare. In fact after looking at the original on her blog it doesn't really look like Minty.

It might be the same breed, don't know or the same size. But the funny thing is that it shows how deeply I have integrated other people of this challenge into my life !

Back home we played cards. It's so seldon we have any occasion to relax together.  We played diabolic rummy.

 I don't know if it exists in this coutry. We taught the kids and they love it.

After that it was time to invit Hubby to a nice local Chinese restaurant. We had a great time. We took the photo ourselves with our phone so it's not great quality but I like it very much.

Still plenty of time left to enjoy his birthday before starting all over again tomorrow when the kids come.

Take care everybody, xxx
