The SO had to go into town today about her own business and knew that I
intended to pick up my pre-order copy of 'Dodger' come hell or high water.
So she collected it for me using my pre-order receipt, got my Waterstones
card (non-transferrable and there is no way she is 'Mr' anyone) marked up
with the credit.
Then, on her way back to the bus, stopped off in the Covered Market to buy
a 1/4lb of my favourite pheasant and port pate[1], brown bread and proper
butter for brunch. Didn't take offence when I dived straight into the book
and left her to get on with stuff.
Forget tall, slim and big tits, although they are there. It's the
thoughtfullness that counts.
I just wish she was a better cook and seamstress (and I didn't say
that)..:-)

Steady custom gets a lighter thumb on the scales.
I cook in this household; I like to cook.
According to my little sister: household tasks are either blue, pink or
green.
In this house, hemming, sewing, darning and alteration are green jobs
(barter preferably.)

My usual is 1/2lb beef, 1/2lb pork mince for chilli - same bag[1]. 1/2 doz
duck eggs and whatever steaks take my choice. And the pate when they have
it.
Being a proper butchers they *will* bring 1/8 cow out[2] and say "Which bit
did you want?" Then cut it to the way you would like it. Actually they
usually cut it to the way you *need* it, even if you didn't know.
Idiots try to tell the butcher his trade. Sensible people say "Can I have
<whatever> cuts and can I come back in 30mins"
Do you want to sit and watch people building your new car?

Amen, and pass the herbs and spices.

We've just, over the years, found out which bits each of us are the better
at. Subconsciously divide things that way.
The SO is good at planning but by the time she's done planning I just need
someone to hold the new door "Just bloody there!".
Don't mention the catflap.

sausages,)[for bean casserole] a half-K of lean hamburger weekly, (local
farmer, grass-fed, shop hung and cut,) a roasting chicken or beef ribs
at the end of the month. Neck 'roasts' for beef and barley soup in the
winter. We're steady, if not large, customers.

You'd do the same (or equivalent) for her, I'm sure.

eyelashes don't need to be particularly long, though I'm sure they are.
All you have to do is talk about dogs, which is no hardship.

She does have about 1k of jewellery because I happen to think that white
gold with rubies and emeralds suit her when she's being posh. And that
wasn't just me converting cash to negotiables.
