A Word in your Ear

HH’s birthday, so having done nothing much else to mark the date, I made him a curry for lunch. He, as usual, was bent over his computer all day.  We were going to have a lunch party yesterday, but put it off as one of the guests had flu. We’re not long on birthday celebrations, except for the ‘special’ ones – they come round far too often!
 
Apart from cooking, I did a bit of weeding in the garden – when it got too hot, I started on the path I cleared last year, which is partly shaded – and spent quite a bit of time goofing around with the dogs. I’m getting ridiculously fond of our problem dog, Dookie (or rather, my problem dog – HH doesn’t share my enthusiasm). How can I resist such overt affection (see the extra photo)?
