How kind are you?

Well, I'm going to cook a nice meal for the Count and then as Motherinferior says some necking is in order!

Am going out at lunchtime to buy something yummy and a fantastic bottle of wine. Or two heh heh!

Did a google for 8th wedding anniversary meanings:

Traditional 8th wedding anniversary is Bronze and Pottery.
A contemporary or modern 8th anniversary is Lace and Linen. 
The flowers associated with the 8th anniversary is Clematis.
The Gemstone list shows Aventurine and Multi-coloured Tourmaline.

Send the count shopping now - just make sure he skips the clematis - don't think I'd be too impressed with that on my anniversary.

Aha, if it's pottery maybe I'll get him to unload the dishwasher as an anniversary gesture!

I forgot all about these things, will find him something bronze pottery lace or linen.

Damn my slow pc ! That last post was in reference to Motherinferior's 1st post, must get broadband.

I killed my 2 lovely clematis recently, am such an appalling gardener.

I wanted it to climb elegantly up my house, however it proceeded to curl up, turn brown and die in the soil next to my house !
