This blog is dedicated to my husband who turned 55 in the last week of August.
As it was a bank holiday weekend, we all made time for each other and had a good get-together.
Our daughter lives with us and works from home like we do.
Our son lives near his place of work which is about 90 mins drive from our place.
He came to stay with us and we had a nice weekend :)
The children didn't buy gifts for their father.
Instead, they gave their time and effort and took over the kitchen.
They made falafel-halloumi wraps, chickpeas curry, potato-onion stir-fry and apple cake.
I made vegetable rice and bought Welsh cakes.

My hubby is a self-confessed foodie though he doesn't cook but likes to be served.
He says that his wife eats to live but he lives to eat as he loves food.
So on his 55th B'day, we pampered him with nice treats :-)

Unlike his routine of having snacks and meals through the day, I don't have a snacking habit. I have food once or twice a day only when I'm really hungry. He likes spicy food. I like simple food that he calls Bland.
Our food habits differ, so do our tastes. We are very different and opposites in many ways.
It's our 28th year together, putting up with each other :-)

My hubby has a sedentary job. He isn't into aerobics and sports. He doesn't like physical activity, yet he's not fat. I think this is to do with his genes and high BMR (basal metabolic rate). That's why he can get away with having lots of food and no exercise. He doesn't have any of these lifestyle illnesses of diabetes, hypertension, obesity and heart disease.

When it comes to me, because I'm not a foodie, on my Birthday and Mother's Day, my children gift me Handwash. That's what I like the most. It's practical and useful. I put it to good use around the 2 sinks and 4 basins of my home. I like trying different kinds of Handwash, buying them from pharmacies and supermarkets. I usually buy the 500 ml bottles. They suffice for my family. This year, I even gifted a pair of them to each of my 3 neighbours as I really liked the fragrance and texture, so I wanted them to also try :)

That's a lot of writing and sharing for now.

As my husband is now 55, I'll ensure he gets the Flu vaccine every year to keep him protected.

If you like my blogging, bless him so that he remains healthy :)

Cheers
