Thank you for your kind thoughts Jay. I am on the way back home tomorrow so am getting ready for bed now so we may get an early start of it. We got there to find that my Dad had broken his foot the day we left, so spent some time taking care of issues for them. Was so glad to be able to help out some. They truly love the hounds and I think that was quite a lift for them to visit with them. Blew – our eldest hounds had to be rushed into the vet right away the next morning after we arrived, he has been having health problems, but seems to be doing well now. The Vet gave him some medicine seemed to help him immensly. I haven’t been able to be on the computer much, so I have a lot of catching up to do! Thanks again for your kind words, I greatly appreciate them.

SJ Anne – Oh, don’t worry, it’s often been me making the stupid mistake. I’m just lucky that OH doesn’t remember those moments long enough to blog about them!

Great post Jay – made me laugh because it is just the sort of thing that would happen to me, I would be the silly B and give my OH a laugh. A x

Jenny – Why, thank you! *Takes a bow* LOL!

Ruth – I know, and I so nearly didn’t!

Picture Each Day – They do, don’t they? I still don’t know what they mean by ‘stopped automatic rifles’ though I suspect it may have something to do with the brakes.

I was listening to the Italian course while out walking yesterday, and it’s pretty good! I still prefer the online one, though, I think.

Somnambulist – Yes! Or even a giant balloon, floating off into the great blue yonder! LOL!

Taffy’s Mum – Exactly. Those stickers are great, aren’t they? I remember having to scrabble through the manual every time I needed to check the tyres because I couldn’t remember – all cars are different, after all – but now I only have to glance in the door jamb as I get out. Bliss.

Akelamalu – He’d only have asked me how! But I shall remember that next time.

Mr N – No kidding! LOL!

It must have surprised the waiters to hear proper pronunciation – I’ve notice that the way things are said depends a lot on the quality of the restaurant. An ‘Italian’ fast food stand compared to a top class restaurant, no comparison! It’s quite amusing.

Ms Soup – It’s OK, it’s a mistake others have made too! I’ve actually only had the one husband. I’m kind of used to him now, after thirty-odd years, so I think I’ll keep him.

An hilarious post. Checking up often pays off – you just have to be very careful sometimes how you go about it!!
I quickly glanced at the title of your post and did a double take…. I read it as ‘Conversations with husband No 17.’ That’s an awful lot of husbands, some sort of record I am sure. LOL

Well, at least you didn't blow up the tire by putting too much air in. That would have sucked big time. Now, back when I was a wee lad of 19, I dated an Italian girl, from Italy mind you, who came over here at a young age. I would occasionally eat at her home, where her mother would feed me with authentic Italian cooking, (she made her own pasta, from scratch) and deride me for not properly pronouncing the names of the dishes that I was accustomed to eating. While that is the extent of my Italian, I at least was able to go into the restaurants in Little Italy in Manhattan, and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx and order properly, for which the waiters and owners were very surprised.

OH asked me what the tyre pressures should be in my 4WD he was taking to France for a week fishing then berated me for not knowing off the top of my head. I said why do I need to know when it is on a sticker on the door jamb! ‘Oh’ was the reply!

Inflate to 1,160 psi… I have an image of a motorhome version of one of those pedalos with the giant wheels )

Ha, fabulous! I can empathize with your OH a bit on the tire pressure hunt.. sometimes it feels like they must enjoy putting all kinds of stickers full of bizarre, unintelligible information on the doorjambs just to confuse us. I am excited about the Learning French website you recommended (thanks for that!), but I hope it's a bit better than your Italian translator. Have to be careful what I say in the airports, after all ;P pictureeachdays last blog post..ABC Wednesday: I is for..
