Why do we sometimes feel we need to do certain things a certain way? That if we don't, we'll be pity-ed or mentioned in the same sentence as "ag, shame..". And I can't spell pity-ed, maybe too much red wine.
Tonight is our anniversary. The Darling Husband and I were going to go out to dinner but at the last minute we changed plans and decided to stay in.
We shared a bottle of good old Chateau Libertas, a red that still reminds me of our wedding venue, and I cooked, might I say, a damned fine pesto chicken stir-fry dish. Later we will share the couch and a slab of chocolate while watching our favourite sci-fi show Fringe. Holding hands and cuddling is non-negotiable.
We have not have bought each other expensive gifts or dined at a romantic new restaurant.
But we have celebrated our special day in a special way that suits us today.
Maybe next year will see us sharing a meal at a charming restaurant with all the bells and whistles. But if we do it the same as we did it tonight I will be more than happy.
Some flowers would be nice though.
