My wonderful husband

Today is Adam's 30th birthday. I think he is a fine 30 year old and I am lucky to be his wife :)

I've been thinking of things I like about Adam, and here's one - he's very practical, much more so than me. He knows how to do things the right way, so they don't end in disaster. This comes in handy as I am completely useless in this area (not that it worries me if things end in disaster but it's nice to prevent it occasionally!). For example, Adam taught me how to cook things all the way through, instead of getting impatient and eating things before they are ready. He taught me about the 'danger zone' with food - it's not good for you to have food that's not hot or cold enough. (Can you tell I had very low food standards before I met him? lol)

I will often come up with really bad ideas for how to fix things around the house, and he always explains to me why my idea won't work (or won't work for very long). And then he fixes it the sensible way.

Another thing I like about Adam is he knows how to do cool things, like how to bake bread and how to shoot stuff with a gun. Wow! What a man...

Maybe you just had a high tolerance for food after being brought up on Clarkeson's Greatest Hits.

This is a nice post though, I hope Adam had a nice birthday :)

That's interesting and nice to read.

Low food standards can make one crook. That's why I believe all cooked things should be close to charcoal.

....And what are your strong points ??

So what sort of thing does Adam shoot with a gun???

Alison said...

Well he doesn't shoot anything these days, but I think they used to shoot rabbits out in the country. I don't think he liked doing it all that much.

The rabbits probably disliked it more!!

Julian went clay-shooting off the back of a boat last year and suprised everyone with his shooting abilities seeing as he'd never been near a gun before. I know I'd be awful at it - which may be a good or bad thing depending on the situation!!
