Ah thats a classic...!!
She's already hounding me about her hips & i havnt even got in the door yet...!!!...
...
I can see ill have to play this lovely lady of yours with a bit of charm & stealth...
Im glad she hates flowers, cos i normslly refuse to buy them (although i was willing to make one exception for the sake of keeping her happy, to keep you happy...
...)
Ill still bring some roses from my garden though..!!...women are a sucker for flowers out of a bachelor's garden...
She wouldnt notice getting fat eating chocolate from me....cos .i melt down some nice dark choc & smear a thin layer over one side of segments of a nice juicy healthy riverland orange...
... (again, another subtle little slide of charm to keep her happy, to keep you happy, that will keep me happy...
)
And if i did hear comments of the odd bit of clothing did appear to 'shrink' a little around her waist, id tell her that the slight extra curve actially made her look slimmer & more beautiful, & that you were shooting fatty deer & slipping a bit of extra pork fat in the stuffer...
Then i would back off the choc orange for a while & tell her ill make sure the next few deer you shoot are skinny ones..
See...so like you say, if you have a happy wife, we could both have a happy life...
As for not drinking, that can only be a good influence for me...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
